You have successfully copied a post! The copied post is treated as its own new post with <a href="https://help.spacesedu.com/en/articles/4603388-how-can-i-update-space-settings" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">visibility settings</a> based on the space it is in.

Here are a few more things to keep in mind when copying posts:

Teachers can copy posts for any individual student in their class, and/or Entire Class posts

Students can only copy their own posts, and can only copy into spaces that they have access to post in.

- Don't see the Copy Post option, or a particular space to select when copying? This means it's not your post, or you don't have access to create posts in that space.

Copied posts include all of the attachments and curriculum tags associated with the original post, but not any comments on the post.

Edits made to the copied post will not affect the original post

New comments added to the copied post will not be visible on the original post.
