Open the tutorial file:

1.

Click on File > New from Template...

2.

Double-click the Tutorials folder and open the file called "Moving and Copying Outline Elements".

To duplicate selected outline elements, click and drag them up or down to a new location in the Outline panel while holding down the correct modifier key.

1.

Click and hold the left mouse button down on the ***Sequence*** in the First Act.

2.

Holding the mouse button down, drag the ***Sequence*** down into the Second Act.

3.

Press and hold the OPTION key on the keyboard.

4.

Release the mouse button.

Notice, it has duplicated the element (and any child elements) at the new location.  This is known as a “drag copy”.

You can also use simple copy & paste in the document itself to move an outline element.

NOTE:  holding down CTRL+OPTION while dragging will make a copy of the parent element (only) at the new location.
