Work with library items using keyboard shortcuts

  1. To copy or paste a selected library item, press Control+X (Windows) or Command+X (Macintosh) to cut the item, or press Control+C (Windows) or Command+C (Macintosh) to copy the item.
  2. To paste a cut or copied item, click the Stage or in another library to set the insertion point, and press Control+V (Windows) or Command+V (Macintosh) to paste in the center of the Stage; or press Control+Shift+C (Windows) or Command+Shift+C (Macintosh) to paste in place (in the same location as the original).

    To cut, copy, and paste items, use the following criteria:

    • Cut or copy one item or multiple items.

    • Cut or copy an item from the Library panel and paste it onto the Stage or into another library, or paste a folder into another library.

    • You cannot paste a shape from the Stage into the library.

    • You cannot paste a library item into a common library, because common libraries cannot be modified. However, you can create a common library.

    • When you paste a library item onto the Stage, the item is centered.

    • If you paste a folder, each item in the folder is included.

    • To paste a library item into a folder in the destination library, click the folder before pasting.

    • You can paste a library item into a different location in the same library where it originated.

    • If you attempt to paste a library item into a location containing another item by the same name, select whether to replace the existing item.
