You need to be in the Drafts view, not the Recent Projects view, in order to duplicate or move projects.

You mean like this?

It can be a bit fiddly sometimes, good aim with your mouse is key. 😉

iPad version. I assure you, it’s not working. I’ve got around 10,000 hours of using this program over the past 5 years.

Doesn’t help you much but it works fine for me, iPad Air M3. Moving into and out of folders, subfolders, moving between folder levels etc, haven’t experienced any issues.
