Hi @pacecode, thanks for flagging this.
Our dev team is aware of an issue involving using the `copy` and `paste` function for Windows. We are not seeing any issues copying or pasting blocks on Mac.
We’ll keep you updated here as we work to isolate the issue and get this fixed. Thank you!

Copy and paste doesn’t work between screens. It also doesn’t work within a screen. However, within a screen you can right click and select ‘Duplicate’. Unfortunately that doesn’t work between screens.

@finbarr.mccarthytl32 Using cmd/ctrl + c/v should work for copying pasting within any one screen in a project. Please let me know if that is not working for you and what operating system you are using. Thanks!

@pacecode This is fixed now for Windows and Mac, go ahead and try again and see if you can copy and paste.
Thank you!
