Can I copy a tab/page from one Lucidchart document to a different Lucidchart document?

Question

I have a Lucidchart (A) one of the business teams have provided and I want to include a copy as another tab in a set of related processes in my Lucidchart (B) - how can I get a copy into (B)?

There is no option to Export as a Lucidchart from (A) and import it to (B) (I’ve tried various methods but to no avail)

Copy and paste this is not working well at all because I then have to manually resize, reformat, adjust swim lanes, text, shapes etc. whereas I want to copy all (including page settings for (A) as-is, into (B). There are many more processes I need to move so I am looking for an efficient way to bring them into (B)
On the Import options there is no option to import Lucidchart (only Lucidspark)
While I can create a duplicate from the original for myself that does not solve how to add it to my collection (B)

I have scoured previous posts and have not found an answer. Surely this is a common issue for people who are create Lucidcharts (thus I anticipated a solution for this)? If anyone has the solution or an effective workaround, please share.

If this functionality simply does not exist, I suggest adding it to to the development list.

Options might be enabled as a ‘move’ from source (A) to target (B) or an Export Lucidchart/Import Lucidchart option.

Hi ​@IngridB, thanks for posting in the Lucid Community!You can import a specific page from one Lucidchart document into another Lucidchart document following these stepsbelow. Would you mind trying this and letting me know if this is what you’re hoping for?Open to the Lucidchart document that you’d like to import into.In the Lucidchart document, openthe menu from the top-left of the canvas.Hover your cursor over “Insert”.ClickImport Page.Choose the document you want to import. If the document contains multiple pages, use the arrows in the preview window to navigate to the page you want to import.Click Select.Menu > Insert > Import pageSelect which document you’d like to import > toggle through the document’s tabs to select the relevant tab > click Select

Thank you ​@Ambar D -I am pleased to reply that your tip helped.I was able to Insert ➡Import pageall pages I have access to view and/or edit. The text did not revert to 2-point, and the shapes did not resize to microscopic!This is more successful that the cut and paste attempted earlier. I often find this function unhelpful, even withinthe same document due to not always getting an exactcopy (size, font & shape values/behaviour may change).I am dismayed learning that there are two Import options (File ➡Import and Insert ➡Import page). Not a particularly user-friendly orintuitive design.Appreciate having a solution & thanks again😊
