If you cut one task or branch, then cut another one, the first one is lost and replaced by the
second. Remember however that you can always undo the command to retrieve it (see "Undo a
command" on page745).
l
Tasks and branches will always appear on top of (in other words, before) the task or branch
where you paste it. The only exceptions are Input and Output tasks which can only be pasted on
top of an Unknown Task.
Copying the Properties of a task or branch
Instead of pasting the actual task or branch, you can simply paste the properties of the task or branch.
To do this:
1. Copy or Cut a task or branch of which you want to have the properties.
2. Select the task or branch where you want to paste the properties
3. From the Home tab in the Ribbon, choose Paste Properties (or right-click and select Paste
Properties from the drop-down menu).
Note: You can only paste the properties of an Input task on the initial Input task of your process.
Similarly you can only paste the properties of an Output task on another Output task.
Also, you cannot paste the properties of a task on a branch and vice versa.
Copying the On Error Properties of a task or branch
Instead of pasting all properties, you can paste only the properties of the On Error tab of any task or
branch on another one:
1. Copy or cut a task or branch from which you want the On Error properties.
2. Select the task or branch where you want to paste the On Error properties.
3. From the Home tab in the Ribbon, choose Paste On Error (or right-click and select Paste On
Error from the drop-down menu).
Highlight a task or branch
The Highlight command lets you toggle the background color of selected tasks and branches.
