Cut, copy, and paste nodes

You can cut or copy an existing process node and paste it into a different location within a process map or across maps.

However, when activities are copied across maps, process-related configuration, variables, preconditions, and roles associated with activities are not copied.

You can also copy text such as script code from one node to another in the same or a different process. However, when you copy the script or rule which contains variables that may or may not exist in another process, it may result in unexpected behavior.

When you copy a node, the original node remains in place.

  1. On the process map, select the node to copy and press CTRL+C.
  2. On the same or different process map, click the location to paste the node and press CTRL+V.

Cut and paste a node

When you cut a node, the original node is deleted.

  1. On the process map, select the node to cut and press CTRL+X.
  2. On the same or different process map, click the location to paste the node and press CTRL+V.
