I have a retrospective Lucidspark board that I reuse for each retrospective, and then save a named revision after each session.

Now I’d like to summarize some information from the end of each retrospective and find I can’t copy objects from that to another board. I can’t even select and copy the text on post-its, so I find myself either having to do “new from revision” about 25 times and copying from the resulting copies before deleting them, or manually re-entering the information.

In short it would have been nice if I could have selected and copied some postits there and pasted them into another board.

Hi @bnl

You currently can’t select or copy objects while viewing a Lucidspark or Lucidchart revision. The revision view is read-only and only supports restoring the document or creating a new copy from that version.

Revision history lets you preview past versions so you can either roll back to that version or branch a new document from it.

Revisions are designed for audit and recovery (reviewing changes and restoring versions), not for editing or extracting partial content.

Hope this helps - Happy to help further!!
Thank you very much and have a great one!
Warm regards
