Copying and pasting annotations can be helpful with:

1. Duplicating an annotation (or consider making it a Saved Annotation);
2. Retrieving deleted annotations after a Note Transfer;
3. Moving annotations across layers and pages.

Start by touching or clicking the annotation you'd like to copy.

From the pop-up menu, choose Copy; the pop-up will then disappear:

Next, navigate to the location you'd like to paste the annotation. It can be on a different page or in a different Scriptation file. Touch or click, **then **hold anywhere on the screen. Another pop-up menu is displayed; select Paste:
****

The annotation will be pasted in and you'll be presented with additional options. NOTE that you'll see different options depending on the annotation type.

• Cut -- to remove the annotation from the page and placing it elsewhere;
• Copy -- to copy the annotation and place it elsewhere;
• Select More... -- after the paste the annotation will be selected; touch or click other annotations to add the to this selection group;
• Edit -- to edit a pasted text annotation;
• Inspector -- to adjust the annotation's attributes;
• Save -- to save this annotation for later use;
• Layer -- to move or copy the annotation to a different layer;
• Note -- to attach a Note to this annotation;
• Tag -- to tag an annotation into a certain tag category;
• Trash -- to delete this annotation.
