What is the difference between copy and duplicate with drawing markups?
Answer
When you select a markup in a drawing in Procore, a menu appears so you can link, delete, copy, duplicate, etc. Or you can use keyboard shortcuts. Learn the differences between copying and duplicating a markup:
Copy
For Web: Saves the markup to your clipboard so you can paste it into a different drawing. After clicking Copy, navigate to another drawing, press CONTROL / COMMAND + V on your keyboard, and if the two drawings have the same dimensions, the markup will automatically paste to the same coordinates as the original drawing. You can move the markup's location as desired.
For Mobile: Tap Copy, then long-press in the desired location on the same or any other drawing within the same project. Long-press to see the Paste option and tap it to paste the markup to your desired area of the drawing. You can also copy a markup by pinning it to the area of the drawing where you want the copy. Then, paste the markup into your desired area of the drawing.
Once you publish the markup, collaborators can see the copied markup too.
Duplicate
For Web: Creates a duplicate of the markup(s) and pastes it near the original in the same drawing. The duplicated markup is auto-selected, so you can move it to the desired location within the drawing. With a single click, you can duplicate a markup.
For Mobile: Tap Duplicate to select the markup. The duplicated markup is auto-selected, so you can move it to the desired location within the drawing. You can also duplicate pinned markups, the copy will appear next to the original, allowing you to then move it to the desired location on the same drawing.
Once you publish the duplicated markup, collaborators can see it too.
Linked items can be copied or duplicated, too, with the exception of calibration measurement markups. Selecting more than one markup at a time allows you to take these actions in bulk. Learn more about editing markups.
