Does anybody know what’s the difference between those two shortcuts?

Hey @AresVentures, thanks for reaching out!
I’m assuming you’re using a Windows device and are wondering the difference between Paste over selection vs Paste to replace.
Use the Paste to replace (Ctrl + Shift + R) function to remove a selected object from your canvas or frame and replace it with the object copied to your clipboard. This is useful when you want to replace placeholder items in a frame or populate low fidelity wireframes with assets.
The Paste over selection (Ctrl + Shift + V) option will place a copied object on top of a selected frame, not inside it. The pasted object will match the x
, y
position of the selected object.
