Looking for the Copy card type, for writing and approving text? See Asset cards and Copy cards.
Here's how you can copy or duplicate your action cards:
Click to open the action card you want to copy
Select the 'More' menu on the top right
Select 'Duplicate action'
Specify the number of copies you would like and confirm you want to copy the action
Hive stays on the original action after creating the copy. Select Open action in the confirmation message to open the new copy. If you create multiple copies, Open action opens the first copy. Each copy shows (copy) in the title. It will have all the same details as the action you copied it from (labels and placeholders that are not present in the target project will remain on the copy as well).Change any details you want and press close!
Additionally, there is a shortcut! You may right-click on any action card icon and select 'Duplicate action'
To copy an action to a different project, use 'Copy action to project':
Open the action card you want to copy.
Select the 'More' menu on the top right.
Select 'Copy action to project'.
Select one or more projects. To copy the action into a project template, select the 'Templates' tab.
Optional: select 'Advanced' to choose what to copy to the new action. These options are all selected by default:
Assignees
Start and due dates
Attachments
Comments
Clear an option if you do not want it on the copy.
Select 'Add to project'.
Hive makes one copy in each project that you select. The copy has the same title as the original action. The subactions are copied too. A message shows for each copy. Select 'Open' to go to the copy.
If an assignee is not a member of a project that you selected, Hive asks if you want to add them to that project. If you select 'No', that person is not an assignee on the copy.
About copied comments: each comment keeps its author and its date and time. Hive copies only the comments that you can see. Hive does not send notifications for copied comments. Files in a comment stay on the copy, also when you clear 'Attachments'. You see them in the comment and in the Attachments section of the copy.
If you'd like to move a specific action to a different project, you can do this from the card directly. Click on the project title at the top left of your action card and select a different project in the dropdown:
To move multiple actions to a different project at once, open your actions in the project or Summary view and switch to Table Layout. From there, you can use the Project column to select a different project in the dropdown and copy and paste it into other actions.
Pro tip: hold Shift to easily select multiple actions at once!
FAQ
Why does my copied action have old comments?
'Copy action to project' copies the comments of the action by default. The comments keep their original author and date, so they can look old. Hive does not send notifications for them. To make a copy with no comments, select 'Advanced' and clear 'Comments' before you select 'Add to project'.
