## Duplicating Items

Create a copy of an existing item:

1. Right-click on the item
2. Select **Duplicate**
3. A copy is created with "(Copy)" appended to the name

<Info>
  Duplicating an item does not copy its children. Only the selected item is duplicated.
</Info>

## Deleting Items

Remove items you no longer need:

### Single Item

1. Right-click on the item
2. Select **Delete**
3. Confirm the deletion

### Multiple Items

1. Select multiple items
2. Press `Delete` or click **Delete Selected**
3. Confirm the deletion

<Warning>
  Deleting a parent item will orphan its children (they become top-level items). To delete the entire hierarchy, delete children first or select all items to delete.
</Warning>

## Undo/Redo

Made a mistake? Use undo to revert changes:

* **Undo**: `Cmd + Z` (Mac) or `Ctrl + Z` (Windows)
