Duplicate, rename, and delete designs
Copy a design into the current folder, rename it inline with F2, and delete designs from Visuals, with the full keyboard shortcut list.

The Visuals library handles the housekeeping around your designs: copying them, renaming them, and getting rid of them. All three take a couple of clicks.
Duplicate a design
Duplicating is the fastest way to create a variation. The copy is a fully independent design with the same elements, size, and layers, so you can change the headline or swap the photo without touching the original.
Open Visuals and select the design (or several).
Click Duplicate in the bar at the bottom, or right-click and choose Duplicate.
Copies land in the folder you're currently in and are named after the original with "(duplicate)" added, so you can spot them right away. Move them somewhere else afterwards if you'd rather they lived in another folder.
Carousels duplicate with their slide count and every slide's content intact.
Rename a design
You can rename straight from the grid:
Select the design or folder.
Press F2, or right-click and choose Rename.
Type the new name and press Enter. Press Esc to back out without changing anything.
You can also rename a design from inside the editor: click the title in the top bar, type, and press Enter. Either way it saves immediately.
New AI-generated designs are named automatically from your brief. Renaming is a good habit before you export, because the design name becomes the default filename of the export.
Delete designs
In Visuals, select one or more designs. Use Cmd/Ctrl + A to grab everything on the page.
Click Delete in the bottom bar, right-click and choose Delete, or just press Delete.
Confirm in the dialog.
Deletion is permanent. There's no trash bin to restore from, so if a design might be useful later, move it to an "Archive" folder instead. Files you've already exported are unaffected: they're still listed on the Exports page and available to download.
Deleting a folder deletes every design inside it as well. Move the designs out first if you want to keep them.
Keyboard shortcuts
Good to know
Everything here is per workspace. Duplicating a design keeps it inside the same brand; there is no cross-brand copy.
Duplicating never costs credits. Only AI work does.
Moving things is undoable: the toast that appears after a move has an Undo button. Deleting is not, which is why it asks you to confirm.
Prefer to make the copy from inside a design? Ask the AI in the editor chat to "make a version of this for LinkedIn" and it will adapt the design in place; if you'd rather keep the original untouched, duplicate first.
