It would be nice, if we could copy and paste components between apps. I have a few apps where I reuse components, layouts over and over again. I can easily copy and paste within a project, but cross project would be wild. ---

Unless itā€™s changed: - You **can** copy-paste components **within the same application** - You **can** copy-paste components across different applications **within the same team** - You _cannot_ copy-paste components across _different teams_ ---

> [@nathanaelb](#): > > You **can** copy-paste components across different applications **within the same team** I tested this a while back and I found that it only works within the same browser tab (tested with Arc browser). That is, if you have the builder open in two separate browser tabs (same team, two different Apps) and try to copy a component from one to the other, it doesnā€™t work. It seems that each browser tab has itā€™s own independent copy buffer. Maybe there is a way to change that behaviour, I didnā€™t dig any further. ---

Interesting! Now you know that Iā€™ve never had two builders open at the same time, I donā€™t think Iā€™ve ever attempted that. Iā€™ve just copied components, headed to the dashboard, gone to another app, and pasted. Last I tried this works fine within the same team, but not beyond that.
