We all know the conventional ways of doing things on Voila. But, what about those little shortcuts, those unconventional ways? This post is going to cover one of those aspects.

You may have come across situations where you may want to duplicate annotations onto the same image or copy-paste similar annotations across images. To duplicate an annotation, select that annotation using the select tool (Command L). Option drag the annotation, and an exact replica of the annotation will appear on the workbench. You can also select multiple annotations and perform the task simultaneously.

To copy-paste similar annotations across different captured images, select the annotations that you want to copy. To select all the annotations, choose Select all from the Edit Menu (Command A). To copy these annotations select Copy from the Edit Menu (Command C). Now select the image that you want to paste these annotations to from the Organizer pane. Once you have selected the image, select Paste from the Edit Menu (Command V). This will paste the copied annotations onto the image.

However do note that duplication and copy-paste of annotations is currently not available for non-selectable annotations like spray and stamps.
