Copying and pasting steps between documents

Each open document has its own history of steps. You can copy steps from one document and paste them into another, using the Copy Steps command in the History panel options menu. If you copy steps into a text editor, the steps are pasted as JavaScript code.

To reuse steps from one document in another document:

  1. In the document containing the steps you want to reuse, select the steps in the History panel.
  2. In the History panel options menu, select Copy Steps.
  3. Open the document into which you want to paste the steps.
  4. Select an object to which you want to apply the steps.
  5. Select Edit > Paste to paste the steps.

    The steps are played back as they're pasted into the document's History panel. The History panel shows them as only one step, called Paste Steps.
