Context can be copied from a frame within a topic and pasted to a non-topic asset such as a section or module. This copies all rows of the Context ID into the section or module. Context IDs cannot be pasted from one frame into other frames.

Context can also be copied from a section or module to another section or module. Since multiple contexts can be associated to a section/module, you can copy single Context IDs or all Context IDs associated with a section to another section.

To copy context from a topic frame to a section/module:

1. Open a topic in the Topic Editor.
    
2. Select a frame with context that you want to copy.
    
3. On the Edit menu, choose  Copy Frames.
    
4. In the outline, select the section or module to which you want to paste the context.
    
5. If necessary, open the Properties toolpane of the section or module.
    
6. Click in the Context field to open the Context dialog box.
    
7. From the Context Names tab, click the  Paste Context button.
    
8. Click OK to save the context.

To copy context between sections/modules:

1. If necessary, open the Properties toolpane of the section or module.
    
2. Click in the Context field to open the Context dialog box.
    
3. From the Topic Contexts tab, select the topic(s) within the section to be copied and click the  Copy Context button.
    
4. Click OK.
    
5. Navigate to the Context dialog box of the destination section.
    
6. From the Topic Contexts tab, click  Paste Context.
    
7. Click OK.
