Paste to replace not listed in Menu

I’m using the desktop app, I restarted, and I still can’t see “paste to replace” anymore in the menu!!! it’s greyed out in quick actions.

this is shocking, I need this feature so much.

(PS I’m not dealing with a component or part of a component, highlighted object shown below)

Hey @Shannon_Copfer_Brace & @Roya, sorry for the delayed reply!

This seems like a different issue from the original topic, so we’ve moved it to it’s own topic.

Are you right-clicking on the highlighted objects in Layers panel rather than directly on the canvas? When right-clicking on the canvas, the shortcut is listed as expected in the menu:

I’m experiencing the same problem as well. there is no “Paste to replace” when you select multiple and want to update all at the same time.
