You can duplicate sprites and scripts using the Duplicate tool (looks like a rubber stamp) located above the Stage area.  You can also Duplicate things using the context menu (right-click for PC's, alt-click for Macs).  Scripts can be duplicated from one sprite to another within a project by dragging the script and dropping it on top of the sprite icon in the list of sprites below the stage. 

To copy sprites from another project, you Export the sprite from one project (context menu) to a file, then drag and drop the file into the open project where you want to Import it.  Another approach is to Import the entire project using the option from the Extras menu.  I hope that helps!

... and yet another approach is to *delete" the resource (costume, script, sound, sprite) from the source project, then open the target project and click on the "Undo" button. This actually uses the clipboard...

Re: Can I update my existing project with a new one?

yes, it works, but only if you keep Scratch open. Just be sure not to accidentally save the source project after you've moved a deleted resource to the clipboard  smile

Wow, I never thought to try that, using Undo across projects!
Hmm, it didn't work for me just now. Perhaps it doesn't work on the Mac.

Re: Can I update my existing project with a new one?

Oops, sorry! this does, in fact, *not* work. I just checked, and got it all wrong. Whenever you open a new Scratch project the clipboard is emptied. Again sorry for causing all this confusion!

i have had a few problems with replacing my project "Another tube". the project seemed to not work online because of some color sensing that didn't sense right after the images were compressed. (at least thats what i think) i tried to replace it with another version of the project, but with other settings. it didnt work, and there were no errors  neutral

You can try turning compression off as you share it and see if that helps.  It's an option on the Share screen.

yes, thats the settings i changed! but i still cant figure out how to update a project, thanks anyway  smile


HI! Im dying to know what you think about my newest project! please chek it out!

Dear Scratch Users,

Sometimes you won't see the changes online because your browser hangs on to the older version in an area called cache memory.  Try clearing all the temporary files on your browser and taking another look at it.  Or, you can try shutting your browser down and restarting it...that does it for my browser.

Re: Can I update my existing project with a new one?

I find that if I put a project online, then edit it offline again, then before putting it back online, I save it, then when I put online it makes a new project, but if I don't save it, it works.

If the project names are different at all, a new online project will be created.  Did you notice any differences in the project names in the two versions you ended up with?

Re: Can I update my existing project with a new one?

i noticed that if i posted a project and renamed it when it was online, then posted a new project with the same name as the renamed version, it just posted a new project, did you rename it?

Re: Can I update my existing project with a new one?

Look at these two projects, they have exactly the same name, but they are different projects:
Black n' White 1.3.2.1
Black n' White 1.3.2.1
