You can copy a frame or frames to another location in the same topic or into another topic. This feature allows you to easily duplicate sections of a topic that have the same steps, without having to record them again.
 
Any frame can be copied, including the Start frame. The copied frames are not linked to the original frames, but any links they contain to other documents such as attachments, icons, manual hyperlinks, glossary terms, and sound properties will be preserved.
 


Tip: You can duplicate a frame by copying and pasting it without changing the selected frame in the frame structure.


When you copy a frame, the frame's properties are also copied, including the screenshot, all actions and alternative actions, jump-in points, bubble text and bubble properties, Context IDs, "include this screenshot" settings, frame link settings and tooltips, custom sound, links and broken links, action areas, and the "keep with next" setting. The template language and the screen resolution are not copied.


To copy a single frame:

  1. Select the frame you want to copy.
     
  2. On the Edit menu, choose Copy Frames Copy Frames.
     
  3. Select the frame after which you want to paste the copy.
     
    You can open a different topic in the Topic Editor, or switch to a topic already open, if desired.
     
  4. On the Edit menu, choose Paste Frames Paste Frames.
