Records can be copied from the **search results context menu**, within the **sidebar**, and from the **full-screen editor**. ## How to Copy a Record ### **From Search Results:** * Right-click on the record in the search results. * Select the desired copy option from the menu. ### **From the Sidebar:** * Open the record in the sidebar (detail or editor). * Click the **Copy** button or context menu in the upper right corner and select the desired copy option. ### **From the Full-Screen Editor:** * While editing a record in full-screen mode, access the **Copy** menu in the upper right corner. * Choose one of the three copy options to duplicate the record or create a template. ## Copy Options When copying a record, you can choose from three options, depending on your configuration and requirements. The actual records are only created after saving. ### **Copy with Reverse** This option is available depending on your configuration. It creates a copy of the record and all reverse linked records. All fields are duplicated exactly as they are, and the new record(s) can be edited independently of the original(s). ### **Copy without Reverse** Creates a direct copy of the selected record. All fields are duplicated exactly as they are, and the new record can be edited independently of the original. Reverse-linked records are not copied. ### **Copy as Adhoc Template** Creates a temporary template based on the record. The template is not saved permanently and can be used immediately when creating new or editing existing records. When a new adhoc template is created, any previous adhoc template is overwritten. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.fylr.io/for-users/asset-records-management/copying-records.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
