You made something awesome on a mural. And now you need to duplicate it a couple of times. Let me show you how, with a couple of speedy shortcuts. So I made this space right here for somebody to generate notes. 

And it's actually a couple of sticky notes, a textbox for someone to add their name, and this cloud icon. So what I'm going to do to duplicate it is first of all, hold down the shift key to select all of the items that I want to duplicate. Then when I right hand click, I get this menu and I can click that duplicate and it'll copy it right to the side, and then I can simply drag it to wherever I want it to go. 

Option one, option two, I select everything I want, simply Ctrl C to copy, or Command C and then Ctrl and Command V to paste. 

Same thing, it'll duplicate it and you can drag it to where you want to go. Next option you can Just simply press Command or Control D, and that will also duplicate it and then again, drag where you need it. Finally, if you want to use the Alt or Option key on your keyboard, you can hold that down and you get this double cursor right here. And you simply drag out those selected items where you want them to go. And that's it. Now I have duplicated these elements and saved a lot of time creating and building in a mural.
