Published in Mural Board Management 3 mins read

Transferring content between Mural boards is a straightforward process, allowing you to reuse elements and streamline your workflow. You can easily copy objects from one board and paste them into another using standard keyboard shortcuts.

Quick Steps to Copy Between Mural Boards

To duplicate content from one Mural board to another, simply follow these three essential steps:

Step Action Details
1 Copy Objects Select the desired objects on your source Mural board and use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + C (Windows) or Cmd + C (Mac).
2 Navigate to Dashboard Return to your Mural dashboard, which lists all your accessible murals.
3 Paste into New Board Open the target Mural board where you want to place the copied content, then use Ctrl + V (Windows) or Cmd + V (Mac) to paste them.

Detailed Guide to Duplicating Content

Whether you're moving a single sticky note or an entire section of your board, the process remains consistent and efficient.

Step 1: Select and Copy Your Content

First, navigate to the Mural board containing the elements you wish to transfer.

  • Select Objects: Click on the individual objects you want to copy. To select multiple objects, you can:
    • Click and drag your cursor to create a selection box around them.
    • Hold down the Shift key while clicking on each object individually.
  • Copy: Once your desired objects are selected, use the universal copy command:
    • Press Ctrl + C on a Windows keyboard.
    • Press Cmd + C on a Mac keyboard.

This action temporarily stores the selected content in your computer's clipboard.

Step 2: Access Your Mural Dashboard

After copying, you need to navigate to the location where you can select your target board.

  • Go to Dashboard: Locate and click on the "Mural dashboard" icon or link within your Mural interface. This will typically take you to a page displaying all the murals you have access to.

Step 3: Open Target Board and Paste

Finally, open the destination board and paste your copied content.

  • Open Desired Mural: From your dashboard, click on the specific Mural board where you want to paste the copied objects. The board will open in your workspace.
  • Paste Content: Once the new board is open, use the paste command:
    • Press Ctrl + V on a Windows keyboard.
    • Press Cmd + V on a Mac keyboard.

The copied objects will appear on your new board, typically near the center or at the current view of your screen. You can then drag and rearrange them as needed.

This method allows for seamless transfer of elements like sticky notes, text boxes, images, shapes, and entire sections, making it easy to repurpose or consolidate ideas across different projects or iterations.
