Tip: You can copy and paste elements across different Graphics Packages — not just within the same one.

Copy & Paste: what you can and cannot copy

You can copy:

  • Overlays

  • Regions

  • Building Blocks

You cannot copy:

  • Scenes

To replicate a Scene's content, copy its Regions or Overlays individually. To get an exact copy of a Scene with all its contents, duplicate the entire Graphics Package instead — this creates a complete copy of all Scenes in the Graphics Package.

Copy & Paste: custom fonts

When copying elements that include fonts:

Font type

What happens

Google Fonts

Remain available automatically in the destination Graphics Package

Custom Fonts

Flowics attempts to add the font to the destination Graphics Package. If the font cannot be found, it is replaced with the default font

Copy & Paste: connected providers

Connected providers (such as Mechanics) remain linked after copying and are ready for immediate use in the destination Graphics Package. No reconnection needed.

Common issues

Ctrl + C / Ctrl + V is not working

Make sure the element is selected before copying. If no element is selected, Ctrl + C will not copy anything.

I pasted an element, but the font looks different

The original font may be a Custom Font that is not available in the destination Graphics Package. Check the font settings in the Inspector and reassign the correct font if needed.

I need a full copy of a Scene

Scenes cannot be copied directly. Duplicate the Graphics Package to create an exact copy of all Scenes, then delete the ones you don't need from the duplicate.

There is no zoom option. How do I work with small elements?

The Graphics Editor does not support zooming into the canvas, individual elements, Building Blocks, or any part of the editor interface. To make detailed editing easier:

  • Hide the Animation panel; this expands the canvas area and gives you more visible working space

  • You can temporarily use browser zoom to inspect elements more closely, but always return it to 100% before making positioning, sizing, or alignment adjustments. Working at a zoom level other than 100% can cause misalignment between what you see in the editor and what appears in the live output.

  • Publish and check the output to verify alignment at the actual resolution. This is currently the most reliable way to confirm pixel-level positioning
