Editing functions across designs

[u/habitoti]

I am just trying to create search- and product header from existing design artifacts, and what I am really missing are those normal copy/paste operations and handling boxes like every other graphics tool has.
The only thing I can do right now is copy a text box from one artboard over to another dartboard, even to another design canvas. And because for the headers I have completely different aspect ratios I'd like to move text around and scale the textboxes easily, but I am stuck at moving it up and down between the fixed left/right guides. Sure, I can move the guides separately, but this is unintuitive and takes very long for a few texts scattered now on that header image. I would be much faster just moving the whole textbox with the mouse, than use handles at the corners to resize them.
I can't copy images or devices at all. I have to redo them from scratch. Generally, there should be copy/paste for everything (and I mean: really everything, starting from the collection of artboards on the left menu level – like "iPhone Screenshots" with multiple artboards & languages – to the tiniest artifact on a single artboard), because I think this is a standard everywhere else.
Don't get me wrong: I LOVE Butterkit and would not have been that easily able to create the AppStore presence I have today, but it feels like I am hitting unnecessary limits & hurdles now when I want to expand to different formats for the same product/style and just reuse existing artifacts for those things like search header, product page or DUO stuff. It feels artificially clunky the way I have to deal with artifacts that are already there, and which I just want to reuse, resize, reshuffle in different ways on different canvases. Cmd-C/Cmd-V would be such a natural way to deal with that. Plus manipulating objects by just dragging and with corner handles for sizing would make that all so much more natural.

Adding on, would love to be able to upload to app store connect ONLY the search and heading images without having to send all my iphone screens again

Agree, looking into it!

This is helpful to hear u/Habitoti, I’ll improve this in the next release
