Sometimes a line item lands in the wrong room, or you want to repeat the same work in another room. Both are a right-click away.

## Move or copy items

1. Select the line items you want to move. Click one, or [multi-select several](/docs/estimates/select-and-bulk-edit).
2. Right-click the selection.
3. Choose **Move N items to** and pick the destination room, or **Copy N items to** to duplicate them there instead.

Move relocates the items. Copy leaves the originals in place and adds duplicates to the room you pick. In a multi-unit estimate, same-named rooms are labeled with their unit in the menu (for example "Kitchen (Unit 2B)"), so you always pick the right one.

## Why not drag them across?

Dragging the handle on the left of a row reorders items **within their section** only. Items cannot be dragged from one room into another. That keeps drag-and-drop safe for tidying order without accidentally rescoping a room. When you want an item in a different room, use right-click **Move to**.

See [Reorder rooms and line items](/docs/estimates/reorder) for everything drag-and-drop does.

## Undo if you change your mind

⌘Z (Ctrl+Z) on the estimate canvas undoes a move or copy, like any other manual edit. See [Undo and redo](/docs/estimates/undo-redo).
