Is There a Way to Quickly Duplicate Items in My Activity?

Yes. Anything you insert into your Activity — including answer choices, question types, Teacher Text, shapes, and images — can be duplicated while you are editing in Classwork.com.


Option 1: Use the Duplicate Shortcut

While the object you want to copy is selected, press Ctrl + D (Windows) or Cmd + D (Mac) to instantly create a duplicate.


To duplicate multiple items at the same time:

  1. Click one item, then hold Shift while clicking additional items

  2. Or, hold Shift, click away from any item, and drag to create a selection box

  3. Press Ctrl + D / Cmd + D to duplicate everything that is selected


Duplicated items appear on top of the original objects. Click and drag them to their new position.


Option 2: Use the Spacebar Shortcut

After placing an item from the Insert menu (such as a multiple choice option, textbox, or shape), press the spacebar to automatically reselect the last item you used.


This lets you quickly create additional answer options without reopening the Insert menu each time.
