In your FoxStudio editor, you can paste the copied design to your section in 2 ways:

  • Use hotkeys: CMD + V for Mac OS or CTRL + V for Windows

  • Right-click in the editor and select the option Paste from FoxTransfer.

The pasted element's position will depend on the cursor's current location.

After placement, the pasted element can be edited like other elements using the available tools in the editor.

Best practices and notes:

  • Copy smaller elements instead of large sections

💡 Why? Copying smaller elements rather than an entire section reduces complexity and avoids transferring a deeply nested structure, which may be harder to adjust later.

✅ Example: Instead of copying an entire homepage section, try copying only a text block, image container, or button group for easier customization.

  • Adjust for each viewport

💡 Note: FoxTransfer applies the design only to the current viewport you are working on.

✅ Best practice: After transferring, switch to other devices (desktop, tablet, mobile) and manually adjust the design to ensure proper responsiveness.

How Foxify handles the assets of the copied design

  • Custom fonts: Any custom fonts used in the element will be uploaded to the user’s store automatically.

  • Google fonts: No further action is needed if the element uses detected Google fonts.

  • Images: Images included in the element will be uploaded to the user's store or converted to placeholders if the user selects this option.

Users must have the appropriate licenses for premium assets like fonts or images.

⚠️ Users are responsible for any risks of using these assets without proper licensing.
