Copying, Exporting, and Importing States
All states can be copied, exported, and imported. Copying or exporting a state (or set of states) will also copy all

Copying: With a state selected, right-click the state and select Copy, navigate to Edit > Copy, or press Ctrl+C.
You can also copy multiple states at a time by holding down Ctrl while selecting the desired states.

Pasting: Right-click a playlist or Super State canvas and select Paste, navigate to Edit > Paste, or press Ctrl+V.
Note that a pasted state will appear on the same canvas position as the original state; if the original state has not

Exporting: With a state selected, right-click the state and select Export or navigate to Edit > Export. You can also
place multiple states into a single export file by holding down Ctrl while selecting the desired states. The exported
state(s) will be saved as a single file with a .bse extension in the specified directory.
•
Importing: Right-click a playlist or Super State canvas and select Paste, or navigate to Edit > Paste. You will be
prompted to select the .bse file containing the state(s) you wish to export.
