[How To] Copy and paste from a selection

I haven’t been able to work out how to copy selected art on a layer. Is it possible to make a selection, and then copy and paste it?

I found it. Make a selection, long tap on a layer and you will see a duplicate selection option. Clicking that makes a new layer with the pasted content.

You can also click the layer you want to copy and paste to another layer, and drag it above the desired layer. Then, see the layer options, scroll down, and you should see “merge down”

Hello, ajoutez un clavier à votre iPad etdes raccourcis claviers existent pour copier/coller, regardez dans l'aide de Fresco.
Pour tracer un trait rectiligne : Tracer le trait et patienter un peu avant de relever le stylet, pour oriter ce trait droit, déplacez le stylet jusqu'à satisfaction.

I have not managed to duplicate Josh's results. How can I get the cut and paste options to appear on screen?
