Q: How do I copy a SMARText item to create a neww one?

A: Existing SMARText items can be duplicated and modified by the user.

Note: It's very important not to change the fundamental meaning of duplicated items. For example, if you duplicate Tylenol, do not change the name to Amoxicillin. The coding system (in the background) for the item will still identify it as Tylenol in the computer and in the database.

It is also very important to make edits to the duplicated item and not the original. The duplicated item can be determined by checking the values in the Last Modified column in the SMARText Items Manager.
