Until recently I was able to view a folder of charts where I could single-click on a document and then copy that document such that if I navigated to another folder, I could “paste” a copy of that document into the new location. It worked for ctrl-c / ctrl-v (command-c/v on a Mac) and there was a right-click menu that allowed me to do the same.
Everyday I or one of my team mates used to do this to make a copy of a standardized chart where we pasted the copy into a different folder named for a specific client. Taking this away makes things much more difficult.

Hey, Mark! I recently encountered difficulty with pasting into folders as well. When I would hit ctrl-c on a document from one folder, the growl would pop up at the bottom indicating that I had successfully copied something, but when I navigated to the other folder that I wanted to move it to and hit ctrl-v, nothing would happen. I then learned that it was because the folder that I was trying to copy into did not have focus. If I just clicked on some blank space inside of the folder that I was intending to move it to, the app then gave focus to the folder I wanted to copy into, and then ctrl-v worked to copy the document where I wanted. Are you encountering the same issue that I was, and clicking on the empty space inside of a folder fixes it? Or are you having a different issue? I understand that the menu previously had a clickable “copy” and “paste” option and that that is no longer there, I’m just suggesting this (clicking the area inside of a folder before trying to paste with ctrl-v) as a workaround.
+4Bob,
I think I’ve always had to click into empty space… but let me try this again. Thanks for confirming that the right-click menu changed to eliminate copy/paste.

+4@Bob, I get the popup for “Item copied to clipboard” but absolutely nothing when I paste. I have a small folder with only a few documents to plenty of whitespace. It simply does nothing.
Very disappointing, something I use multiple times a week went away. Can I make MY document a template? Only I (or someone I invite) would have edit rights… but other users could then navigate to the destination folder and use “new from template”?
Is that even an option?

You can then add this template to a folder as you described. Any colleagues that you don’t grant edit access to can select ‘New’ to create a new document from the template you’ve created without altering the original.
For more information on creating and sharing templates, I recommend reading our Start with a template article from the Lucid Help Center.
You can also check out the post below where I shared more tips & best practices on utilizing templates in Lucid. Feel free to leave a comment there too if you have additional questions, happy to keep helping here!
+4I played with this a little and I think I get it… thanks.
