Sometimes you want to copy a list of activities from another app and paste them quickly into Planera.
Copying activities (with or without their duration) from other software such as MSFT Excel, Google Sheets, Notepad, Word, or similar programs is straightforward.
If copying from a spreadsheet or spreadsheet-like software:
Create two columns - column 1 should contain the Activity name, and column 2 should have duration (duration is optional).
Select the desired cells and copy them (usually Ctrl+C)
Navigate to the desired location on Planera Canvas
Press Ctrl+V (Cmd+V on Mac), then select Paste as Multiple Activities to add activities with their durations to the canvas, or paste directly as a text box.
Or right-click and select Create X New Activities
