# Copy / Paste / Duplicate

Copy/Paste/Duplicate allows you to duplicate files and folders within the **Project Sidebar**.

## Copy / Paste

To copy a file or folder, right-click the item in the Project Sidebar and select **\[Copy]**. Then, navigate to the target location, right-click, and select **\[Paste]** to complete the action.

Alternatively, you can use keyboard shortcuts: \
Select the file or folder you want to copy, press <kbd>**Ctrl**</kbd>**&#x20;+&#x20;**<kbd>**C**</kbd> (macOS <kbd>⌘</kbd> <kbd>C</kbd>), move to the desired location, and press <kbd>**Ctrl**</kbd>**&#x20;+&#x20;**<kbd>**V**</kbd> (macOS <kbd>⌘</kbd> <kbd>V</kbd>) to paste it.

Copied items will appear in the selected destination.

## Duplicate

You can also duplicate a file or folder directly.

To do this, right-click the item and select **\[Duplicate]**, or press <kbd>**Ctrl**</kbd>**&#x20;+&#x20;**<kbd>**Shift**</kbd>**&#x20;+&#x20;**<kbd>**A**</kbd> (macOS <kbd>⌘</kbd> <kbd>Shift</kbd> <kbd>A</kbd>).

Duplicating creates a copy of the selected item **in the same directory**, without requiring you to navigate to another location.
