You can reorder, enable, remove, and copy style properties — like fills, borders, and shadows — across any layer. These actions work the same way regardless of which style type you’re working with.
## Organizing style properties
Click and drag a style property row to reorder it above or below other properties.
Use the toggle next to each style property to enable or disable it.
To remove a style property altogether, click and drag it out of the Inspector, Control-click on it and choose **Remove**, or click on at the top of the panel (if it’s disabled).
## Copying and pasting properties
**Copy Properties** lets you copy any combination of styles and properties from a layer and paste them onto another.
1. Select a layer and use **Copy Properties** to copy its fills, borders, shadows, inner shadows, effects, size, position and prototyping interactions:
- Press ⌥⌘C
- Right-click and choose **Copy** > **Copy Properties**
- Search for "copy" in the [Command Bar](/docs/interface-and-settings/the-mac-app-interface/the-command-bar/) (⌘K)
2. Select the layer you want to paste onto, then choose what to paste:
- Right-click the **Fills**, **Borders**, **Shadows**, **Inner Shadows** or **Effects** section header in the Inspector
- Open the context menu and go to **Paste** to choose the action you need
- Search for "paste" in the [Command Bar](/docs/interface-and-settings/the-mac-app-interface/the-command-bar/) (⌘K)
> **Note:** **Paste Layout** only works if you copied with **Copy Properties** (⌥⌘C). Copying with ⌘C doesn’t include layout properties.
Holding ⌥ when you paste fills, borders or shadows will **Paste and Replace** existing styles instead of adding them.
To paste all styles at once, use **Paste Style** (⌥⌘V) — or right-click the **Style** header in the Inspector.
