Is there a way to quickly duplicate items in my activity?

Yes! Anything you insert into your activity—such as question types, text boxes, shapes, images, and other objects—can be duplicated using these shortcuts.


Option 1: Use the Duplicate feature

While the object you want to copy is highlighted, press Ctrl + D to instantly create a copy of it.

  • To select multiple items, click one, then hold Shift while clicking others.

  • Or, hold Shift, click away from items, and drag your mouse to draw a selection box.

  • Press Ctrl + D to duplicate all selected items at once.

  • Duplicated items will appear directly on top of the originals—just click and drag them to your desired position.


Option 2: Use the Spacebar shortcut

Press the spacebar to automatically return to the last tool you used. This lets you quickly create another object of the same type without reselecting the tool.
