FIXED: Can't Duplicate from Pinned Projects

Seemingly as of today’s update, pinned items within a project now only have a limited selection of actions available in their right-click context menu (Open, Create New Branch, Add to Sidebar, Remove Project Pin, Copy Link) but none of the others (Copy Link, Share, Duplicate, Show Version History, Rename, Move File, Move to Trash) even though those are in the menu if you find the original file. (i.e. it’s not a permissions problem removing those functions, they just aren’t in the menu for the pinned version) This appears to be the same in both the browser and in the desktop app.

 

As part of our process, we create most new design files by duplicating a template file, which we keep pinned to the project so the team has easy access to it. With this update it’s no longer possible to duplicate (or do a bunch of other actions) from the pinned file, and instead you have to dig through the full list of files to find it in the general project list.

 

Is there a reason this functionality was removed? I’m not sure I understand why the pinned files should have a different set of actions available from the standard one (aside from adding “remove pin” I guess).

Thanks for adding it back in

I’m having the same issue.

I used to pin my template files to the top of a project and duplicate them whenever I needed a new file.
But after the recent update, the “Duplicate” option has disappeared from the menu when right-clicking a pinned file 😭

Now I have to scroll through the whole project just to find the original file and duplicate it from there.
It would be great if we could duplicate directly from pinned files again — that was such a convenient workflow!

This was my only reason to pin files. Pin has now been made a useless function for me.

Hey All, thanks for flagging this! 

This definitely seems like a bug. I’m passing this onto our team to investigate. I’ll provide an update as soon as I hear back.

I’m in the exact same boat! We used to pin different templates, and quickly duplicate when needed.

Now to do this, we have to go into the file and duplicate from there, adding an additional step that was never needed.

Would love to get this duplicate feature back

Yup, same boat. The only reason I pin projects is so I can easily duplicate them from the top.

Hey ​@djv,
I still don’t see a fix for this request?

No Duplicate option has been added just yet to the pined jobs.

Just confirming that I am also not seeing a fix for this in either the app or the browser.

It’s been a while and it somehow the most used action by my team. Any updates? :D

Hey All, thanks for your patience! 

I’ve been out of the office, but as I previously mentioned, our team started rolling out the fix for this issue last Friday afternoon. It took some time to roll out to all users. 

If you haven’t already, please refresh your tabs and let us know if you run into any further issues.
