When creating a Nearpod, you may want to add slides, content and/or activities from one Nearpod to another to review previous content or to differentiate lessons. To assist with this, you are able to duplicate and edit an entire lesson that you created or that you downloaded from the Nearpod Lesson Library. You are also able to copy and paste individual slides and activities from Nearpod lessons that you created.
Content and activities from Nearpod lessons that you've created can always be copied and pasted into other Nearpod lessons. These slides and activities can be pasted into any Nearpod, whether it is teacher-created or downloaded from the Nearpod library. However, slides from a Nearpod lesson downloaded from the library cannot be copied and pasted due to copyright restrictions. If you want to combine a teacher-created Nearpod with a downloaded Nearpod, simply paste the content and activities from the teacher-created Nearpod into the downloaded Nearpod. *Please note that copying teacher created slides into a downloaded lesson may make those slides become copyrighted once within the downloaded lesson. You will still be able to copy and paste the slides from your self created lesson.
In this article you will find instructions for copying and pasting slides within the old and new versions of the Nearpod Lesson Builder:

2. Go back to My Lessons by selecting the Nearpod icon in the upper left hand corner of your screen, and find the Nearpod lesson you'd like to paste slides into. Then, click Edit under the lesson's thumbnail.
3. Paste the slides there either with your keyboard commands or with the Paste (Ctrl+V) button. You can also drag and drop them to rearrange their order.
4. Once you're finished building your lesson, click 'Save & Exit.'
