Here’s a pretty typical scenario for many Thunkers;

- Create an app,
- Make some really nice screens and functions that you’re really proud of,
- Create a new app,
- Have you do it all over again because you can’t copy/paste screens in Thunkable

## Not Anymore!

For example, let’s say you’ve created a particularly nice sign in screen:

 ![01_first_app](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/b/7/b7a6dae118411946c05344c1ec18b5318b1c8116.png)

Now you have the option to “Save Screen to My Screens” in the properties on the right hand side:  
 ![02_save_screen](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/f/3/f3b5ff374f02a52b4d906f15bbdb7b8e19b0b1f7.png)

All you need to do is give you screen a memorable, useful name and click “Save”

 ![03_name_screen](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/a/9/a9092e3e6748b7aeb61cfb041de8aae81f091874.png)

## New App

Next, open a different Thunkable project and click the **+** button to add a new screen. You will see this new “Select a Screen” dialog.

To reuse one of your saved screens just choose the “Copy from My Screens” option, as seen below.

 ![04_new_project](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/8/b/8b889364c4ffb7ccff0ad7ecb6106e8520c20f8d.png)

Choose the screen you want to duplicate - in this case it’s the `Sign_In_Screen` - and the entire screen will be replicated in your new project!

 ![05_choose_screen](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/1/2/12e5cc47407c8c2050d8e5a8e2852786d627e09c.png)

## FAQ

Will my blocks be saved with the screen too?

Yes!

 ![06_blocks](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/8/a/8a1f27381ccf5a43c0cf8ed7f83e267bcf5a937a.png)

# Incredible!

I didn’t know, this feature was for copying screens 😅  
I noticed this some 2 days ago, also asked on Beta PMs…

Thanks @ Thunkable Team! 😊

GREAT WOOOOORK!!!  
WE REALLY NEEDED THIS!!!

A supernice funtion. It is not a backpack, but super-giga-peta-zeta useful at design-time and block-time.

Thanks. Now thunkable is more professional and I am closer to PRO SUBS.

Hi, @domhnallohanlon! 👋

I noticed a bug, which can be reproduced with the following steps -

- Create a simple project, and make just one screen, which should consist of some visible elements, as well as some invisible elements. Such as,

- Add that screen to MyScreens. After adding, add that screen in the same app as a new screen from MyScreens.

- You would notice, the invisible components double themselves, and the visible/invisible components’ name, does **not** change.

* * *

Check this Project, I created and did the same steps as above, and the bug occured -  
[https://x.thunkable.com/projects/5e5c8bdb4af38975256e282c/bb0879f1-7aa2-4549-bf72-f722dbbfee90/designer](https://x.thunkable.com/projects/5e5c8bdb4af38975256e282c/bb0879f1-7aa2-4549-bf72-f722dbbfee90/designer)

Thanks! 😊

I don’t find this issue, but try scale your browser window to see if it changes anything.

On Chrome and most browsers, use Ctrl + or - to scale accordingly.

</div>

I have encountered a bug with the otherwise wonderful tool. For some screens, the invisible components get changed as in the attached. Notice that all Web Api’s have been renamed Web\_Api1 and all alerts have been renamed Alert1.

![CopyProblem](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/3/e/3efca4d41576a63949f34196ac618c558357c3fc.png)  
Also, while the Design view looks exactly the same as it did in the parent, the blocks completely disappear.

BTW, Thanks for all Thunkable team is doing, it is a wonderful platform which gets better every month!

Ya I just tried the “save screen” thing and opened a copied screen within the same app and it messed up all of my invisible components bad. Duplicated all of them and renamed them. Sadly it messed up across the whole app. Now I have to go back and redo ALL of my alert messages.

@ThunkIt - have you created any saved screens yet?
