Have you tried using the new `Duplicate` button in the designer @vossempire? ---

Love the duplicate button, Dom. Next - how about adding it for a full screen? ---

Hi Domhnall, I did find the duplicate button to use on buttons and everything else… except the sheets. Glad to know that is coming soon. ---

Is the ctrlc/v can copy the blocks in the same apps or different apps. ---

It’s just within the same app for now @wexspaceb6vzbn Do you have many blocks to copy? What sort of app are you trying to build? ---

With the ability to copy the blocks across screens, can we start getting pumped to be able to copy a screen and all blocks associated with that screen? @domhnallohanlon ---

You can copy a screen already I do it all the time but only within the same app not to another app. Just put the screen you want to copy inside a row or column, duplicate and drag into the screen you want in the left screens menu ---

Hey @Lin@actech @shaafi @AcrobatEpee @Teramon.com @CBVG @vossempire @wexspaceb6vzbn @Garry_Lane Copying screens and blocks is now available! > [@tada Latest Thunkable ✕ Release; Save Screens is here! 2020-02-27](http://community.thunkable.com/t/latest-thunkable-release-save-screens-is-here-2020-02-27/488296): > > 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!

Thanks a lot, this is a game changer, I feel this should be registered as a Life Hack or made available in the documentation, pending a more permanent solution. P.S. IF YOU’RE WORKING WITH ROWS, THEN COPY INSIDE A COLUMN AND VICE VERSA, I personally would recommend using columns by default. ---
