I can’t find the backpack. I am in X, not classic. Can I copy whole screens? That would be cool. ---

It’s impossible. And no backpack. ---

any idea when these feattures would become available? What I find lacking in Thunkable is information on whats coming. Its only when someone asks, and if he gets lucky, there wil be an official response. ---

It is possible, select your blocks and perform CTRL+C and CTRL+V ---

CTRL + C and CTRL + V does not allow copying screens and blocks between applications, which are discussed in this topic. ---

He is talking about duplicating screens no ? If not, my bad then 🙂 ---

It would be nice to copy a screen inside an application, or copy a row, even. That would save time. Cntr C and V don’t work for me. ---

CTRL+C and CTRL+V only works for the block section ---

What sort of apps are you building @Lin? Typically copying a screen is a sign that your UI can be made more efficient? ---

![From x.thunkable.com](https://screenshotscdn.firefoxusercontent.com/images/c078666e-89c3-436f-963d-951b0cc3a5ce.png?embedded=og) This is the minimum i could reduce my blocks, and i have to repeat those for 10s of design similar parts, if there was a general button, general label tool i could make blocks to adjust themselves trough variables like in android thunk ---

Or that you are transposing logic from one of your app to another without wanting to recode everything from scratch… ---

Any update on this topic? I am working on my first build and I don’t think I’ve seen a copy and paste anywhere yet. CTRLC/V does not work either. It would be great to be able to copy buttons and sheets. I understand that an efficient app is better with only one sheet but the structure I am working on would require far to many “Show/Do not Show rules” [Next page](https://community.thunkable.com/t/solved-copying-blocks-and-screens-in-x/52746.md?page=2)
