+!!! tip "Copying Annotations"
+
+    In scenarios where multiple similar-looking sound events occur within a single
+    clip, you can efficiently annotate them by creating a single sound event,
+    adding all the relevant tags, and then copying the annotation to create clones.
+    To achieve this, select the desired annotation, press the Control key, and drag
+    a copy to the desired location. This feature streamlines the annotation process
+    for repetitive sound events.

 All annotations will be visible in the spectrogram alongside the current tags. A
 button next to the tags of a sound event annotation enables you to add more
 tags. Alternatively, click on a single tag to remove it from the annotation.
