Hi, I’m new to this platform. I’m wondering if there is a way to copy blocks from 1 screen to another. I found the backpack feature via youtube but I do not see this on any of my projects. I currently have the free version. Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance.

Yes, you can copy and paste blocks to other screens _in the same project_. Click the block(s) you want and then ~~click Edit–\>Copy~~ or use shortcut keys. Then go to a different screen, click anywhere (not sure if that’s necessary) and then ~~click Edit–\>Paste~~ or use shortcut keys. Sometimes the pasted blocks appear outside of the current view but you should be able to find them.

Hi @Tatiang. I do not see the Edit feature on the menu when I right-click the block. Please see attached image. I must be doing something wrong. Thanks.

It won’t work to right-click because that’s using a custom pop-up menu in Thunkable. And actually, Edit–\>Copy and Edit–\>Paste from the browser menu don’t work after all. So you’ll need to use shortcut keys. On a Mac, that’s command+C and command+V. On a PC, that’s ctrl+C and ctrl+V.

Thank you! That works for me. Very much appreciated.
