Under the "Master copies" folder there are four subfolders with different contents. You can copy
the contents of these subfolders in their entirety or you can copy the individual objects as
needed.
● Using the Ctrl or shift key, you can select several objects of the same type and then copy
them.
● If you copy a master copies folder in its entirety (e.g. "840D sl PLC BP"), the folder structure
is imported, i.e. new groups (subfolders) are created (Page 82) in your "Program blocks"
folder.
