Copying a Story
You can copy a story from one queue to another within a workspace or across multiple
workspaces. When you copy a story, you duplicate the story from the source queue and add it to
the destination queue. The source queue remains unchanged in the database.
To copy a story:
1. Open the queue containing the story you want to copy.
For more information, see
“Opening a Queue” on page 62.
2. In the Queue panel, highlight the story by doing one of the following:
t Click on the selector button next to the story you want to copy.
t Press Shift+Space.
3. Click again and, holding the selector button, drag the story to the destination queue.
The story is copied to the destination queue.

You can also copy a story by selecting Edit > Copy To, or by pressing Ctrl+D after selecting the
story to copy from one queue to another destination.
Copying Several Stories in a Sequence
At times, you might want to copy multiple stories grouped together in a Queue panel. You might,
for instance, want to copy them all together rather than copying each one manually.
To copy several stories in a sequence:
1. Open the queue containing the stories you want to copy.
For more information, see
“Opening a Queue” on page 62.
2. In the Queue panel, locate the first story in the sequence of stories you want to copy and
click the selector button to the left of that story.
3. Move to the last story in the sequence of stories and, while pressing the Shift key, click the
selector button to the left of that story.
