Editing structural elements

The structure editor offers you the option of editing the respective elements within page editing. A layer for selecting further elements and various functions is available for each element.

'Edit element':

Clicking on the arrow symbol opens a layer (submenu) with the available elements and the following options:

• Delete
  Click on this button to delete the current element within the page editing. The deletion process only takes effect within the page when the file is saved.
  
• Duplicate (copy)
  Click on this button to create a duplicate of the current element, which you can edit further.
  
• Paste to clipboard
  Click this button to paste the current element to the clipboard. The element can be inserted as an element in another page editor that is open at the same time. To do this, it is also necessary that the group of the element in the target file is identical.
  
• Paste element from clipboard
  
• Icon if an element was previously pasted to the clipboard:
  
  Click on this icon to paste an element from the clipboard at the current position. The pasted structural element is inserted before the currently selected element.
  
• Icon if there is no element in the clipboard:
  
  This icon indicates that no element can be pasted from the clipboard.
• Multiple selection
  If this checkbox is activated, you can copy, delete or paste all page elements selected in this way to the clipboard in one step.
  Tip: When activated via an element, all other elements on the page are given a checkbox at the front, which can either be clicked on or activated/deactivated by holding down the CTRL key and moving the cursor over the checkbox at the same time.
  The elements pasted to the clipboard can be inserted elsewhere on the same page or pasted to another page across pages.
