copying shapes is copying notes too

M

Hi

When building a process diagram in LucidChart, and I click one of the purple dots to add the next activity box, instead of just copying the same shape, it copies over the existing Notes as well. Can this be fixed?

Thanks

Hey @Marisa B101 -- thanks for the reply and screenshot! So, if you’d like to simply add the new shape without the notes, it’s best to drag the line out instead clicking the node to copy a shape or create the entire diagram you’d like to have without the notes first. 

Hope this helps!
