Using the Copy Feature

Speed up estimating by duplicating areas or line items using the copy feature to avoid rebuilding each from scratch.

The copy feature in PaintScout duplicates areas or line items within an estimate, saving time when multiple rooms or items share similar configurations.

How do you copy an area or line item?

1. Locate the Area or Line Item you want to copy.
2. Click on the three dots icon to the right of the area or line item.
3. From the dropdown menu, select Copy. This will instantly duplicate the area or line item.
4. Once copied, you can rename the area, update measurements, and adjust surface details to fit the new space requirements.

• Sqft and lnft based surfaces will automatically recalculate based on the new measurements
• Item-based rates will need to be manually adjusted.
