How do you duplicate, move to Shared Project from Personal Files, import .rev files?

I would like to clarify the following points regarding file actions:

  1. How can you duplicate a file?
    It seems like files cannot be duplicated. I couldn't find an option to duplicate them either on the file list screen or in the file editing screen. What I ended up doing was copying the artboard and pasting it into a new file, but this process takes time, and sometimes I also have to copy keyframes, which can be a bit frustrating.

  2. How can you move files from Personal Files to Shared Projects?
    I couldn't find an option to move a personal file to a shared project. I tried dragging and dropping the file, but it didn’t work. I believe there should be a way to do this, so I’d like to know how to achieve it.

  3. How do you import .rev files?
    Recently, Rive introduced a feature that allows users to download .rev files for backup, which is great! However, I don’t know how to import these files back into the Rive editor. I tried dragging and dropping them into the file list, but it didn’t work. I also looked for an import option but couldn’t find one.

Thanks for your support.

  1. Sorry, copy/pasting files doesn't work from the Rive Home screen. You need to got to Personal (or wherever your file is located), select the file, and cmd+c/cmd+v .

  2. You can't move it but you can copy it from one project into a shared project.

  3. You should be able to drag the .rev into any of your projects, like Shared or Personal.

Let me know if you run into any issues. :)
