Steps to Copy Animated Objects

The most straightforward way to "copy animation" is to copy the element that has the animation applied. This is because the animation is linked directly to that specific object (like a text box, image, or shape) on the slide.

Here’s how to do it:

1. Select the Animated Object: Click on the object on your slide that has the animation you want to copy.
2. Copy the Object: Use your keyboard shortcut to copy the selected object:
   • On Windows, press Ctrl + C.
   • On Mac, press Command + C.
3. Go to the Destination Slide: Navigate to the slide where you want to paste the animated object.
4. Paste the Object: Use your keyboard shortcut to paste the object:
   • On Windows, press Ctrl + V.
   • On Mac, press Command + V.

The object will appear on the new slide, and it will have the same animation applied to it as the original object. You can then reposition the object as needed on the new slide.

Action	Windows Shortcut	Mac Shortcut
Select Object	Click Object	Click Object
Copy Selected Object	Ctrl + C	Command + C
Paste Object	Ctrl + V	Command + V

By following these steps, you effectively copy the animation from one place to another by duplicating the animated item itself. This is the standard method in Google Slides for reusing animations.
