Dear support,  
I would request a set of functions to make objects look and/or behave the same (copy styles from one object to another object, copy states, copy events etc.).  
Best wishes  
Ludger

Hi Ludger,

For events, you can copy events by right-clicking the object in the **Events - Actions** section of the **Properties** pane \> select **Copy**.

Regarding copying object states, the current version doesn’t support this feature, unfortunately.  
However, you can edit object settings to add default states for each type of objects. After that, newly inserted objects of that type will have those default states.  
See this tutorial for details: [How to Use Object Settings in ActivePresenter 8 - Atomi Systems, Inc.](https://atomisystems.com/tutorials/ap8/use-object-settings-in-activepresenter-8/)  
Or, you can also use object templates to create and reuse an object:  
[Create and Use Object Templates in ActivePresenter 8 - Atomi Systems, Inc.](https://atomisystems.com/tutorials/ap8/create-and-use-object-templates-in-activepresenter-8/)

About copying styles, ActivePresenter allows you to style multiple objects at once time.  
See this video for details: [How to Style Multiple Objects - ActivePresenter 8 - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nboZ-UjgT4Y&t=4s)  
Besides, you can also edit object settings or use object templates as above to create a default styles for objects.

Regards,  
Quynh
