What This Does
Copy makes a second, identical document in your list. The original is left exactly as it was, so you can change the copy freely.
Who is This For?
This is helpful for:
- Anyone about to make big changes who wants the old version kept
- Students keeping a first draft alongside a rewrite
- Anyone reusing the same starting point again and again, like a weekly template
Step 1: Open the Document
Open the document you want to duplicate, using View if it is not already on screen.
Step 2: Click Copy
Click Copy in the toolbar. It is the two overlapping squares, between Save and Delete.
A duplicate is added to your saved documents. Open it from View and edit it without touching the original.
About the Message You See
After copying, Helperbird shows a message reading "Copied to clipboard". That wording is misleading: nothing is placed on your clipboard, and you cannot paste the document elsewhere with Ctrl+V or Cmd+V.
What actually happened is that a duplicate was added to your documents list. To get your writing onto the clipboard instead, select it on the page and copy it the normal way, or download it.
