How do I move shapes within a workflow?

How can I move a shape from one part of the workflow to another part, eg move it from before a conditional logic to inside one of the branches?
There is no copy mechanism on shapes nor does there seem to be a way to delink its existing connection to one shape to then connect it to another, delinking just deletes the shape.
Surely the answer is not to recreate the shape again and then delete the original??
It's 2025, copy/paste, drag and drop has been around for 20 years, how is the workflow UI not capable of these simple actions?

    You can copy and paste in a workflow. Hold down the shift key to drag and select numerous shapes, then press "Control-C" to copy and "Control-V' to paste.

    Thank you, that works.
    Is there a full reference guide for all the shapes and UI options, such as the copy/paste, for workflows?
    I've gone through all the videos in Domo University but there is much more to workflows that what those videos show.

    I agree with you that documentation could be improved, and we could have more videos. Please keep the feedback coming - the videos which I created were a result of things I recognized and feedback I heard from customers, and I'm happy to make more. I'm also happy to pass feedback along to the product and education teams.
