Feature Request: Apply Object States to Other Objects (or Copy States)

Hello ActivePresenter Team,

I’ve been working on customizing object states (for example, a checkbox with different states such as Normal, Hover, and Checked) in my project.

I would like to reuse the same customized states on other similar objects (e.g., other checkboxes) to maintain a consistent design. However, I couldn’t find any option to copy or apply the states from one object to another.

  • Is there currently a built-in way to duplicate or apply the states of one object to another?
  • If not, I’d like to suggest this as a feature request:

A function to “Apply States to Other Objects” or “Copy/Paste States” would save a lot of time when working with multiple objects that need consistent state designs.

This functionality would be similar to how we can apply object styles but extended to all custom states (including shapes, colors, and actions).

Thank you for your consideration!

To save time, I will take an object and apply all the states I need to that object.
Then I duplicate the object.
All the states will be duplicated as well.

So for example, take one checkbox, customize all the states.
Then duplicate to make as many checkboxes as you like.
They will have all the same states as well as state names.

This has saved me tons of time.

Hi Greg,
Thank you very much.

Hi @BurhanBey,

I want to clarify further that there is a built-in way for you to achieve that in ActivePresenter.

First, you can customize the object as you want. Then right-click, choose Set as Default so that all properties of that object will become default from then.

Or, you can adjust the object settings in the Object Settings tab.
Kindly refer to my response here for more information about this.

Or, another way is you can save the object as an object template to reuse many times later.
You can take a look at this post for more information:

Thank you again, @gregs for your quick response and support towards other users. I hope the ways I mention above are also helpful to you :>
