Copying Components From One File to Another

You can copy components from one component file into another without creating any association between the two components or the two component files.

To copy components from one component file to another

  1. From Workspace Explorer, select the template whose components you want to copy, then click Component Studio.
  2. Do the same thing for the template where you want to use the components you are about to copy, so that the Component Studio pertaining to each template is open side by side.

Alternatively, you can open Component Studio from the HotDocs Author tab of two open templates.

  1. From the first component file, select the component you want to copy; then right-click, and then select Copy.
  2. In the second component file, right-click and select Paste.

You can select more than one component at a time to copy.

  1. If you can see the component list for the second component file, you can drag a component from one component list to another.

    • Otherwise:
      1. Use Ctrl + C on your keyboard to copy the component in Component Studio
      2. Bring up the second Component Studio window and use Ctrl + V to paste the component
