Hi Carl

Thanks for reaching out on the Lucid community. You can do what you described by right-clicking on the shape that is formatted how you would like and selecting "Copy Style" and then right clicking on the shape you would like to apply this formatting to and selecting "Paste Style". You can see these options as they appear in the right-click menu in this screenshot:

Let me know if you have any additional questions.

I was able to copy style/paste style but it only did the text….it specifically did not do the shape/container, which is what I wanted. How do I get it to copy style/paste style onto the shape/container?

Hi @MakeBetterJourneyMapTemplates, thank you for continuing this post! You might find our paint style option helpful for this use case. You can find this option by clicking paint the Paint Format icon from the Formatting bar at the top-left of the workspace! For more information, I recommend checking out the Copy shape style section of this Help Center article. Would you mind giving this a try and let me know if see any improvements?

Feel free to let us know if you have any questions!
