# Editing and Copying a Line Item

**Objective**: In this video and/or step by step walkthrough, you'll learn how to edit or copy a line item inside of your assembly from the assembly manager

      [https://vectortakeostg.wpenginepowered.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/Editing-and-Copying-a-Line-Item.mp4](https://vectortakeostg.wpenginepowered.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/Editing-and-Copying-a-Line-Item.mp4)

#### Edit Line Items inside of an **Assembly**

In the **Assembly Manager** click to highlight or select the **Assembly** you would like to look at

For this example we selected **8' Interior Partition**and on the right hand side you will see all of the**Assembly Line Items**included in this particular **Assembly**

For this example we are editing the 4' x 8' Gypsum Board

Click on the **Name** of the item and the **Edit Item** window will open

Note: If you change the item here it will also change anywhere else the same item is being used in a different assembly

#### Edit the Item

For this example we are going to edit the **Description** of this item from 4' x 8' to 4' x 10' Gypsum Board

We will also change the **Per** to reflect the new dimensions

Once you have made all of your changes, click the **Save Item** button

When you return to the **Assembly Manager**, you will see your changes are reflected in the **Assembly Line Items** list

#### Copy Item Window

The **Copy Item** window will pop open

If you try to copy the item without making changes you will receive a warning message because you are not allowed to have two of the same items that are calculating the exact same way

For this example we will change the **Description** to 4' x 8' and the **Per** to 32

Click **Copy Item**

When you return to your **Assembly Manager** window, you will see the copied item in your **Assembly Line Items** list
