Use the and icons to copy and paste comments from one student record to another. Comments can be copied from any Topic Comment or Overall Comment field to any other comment field

Note: Check your organisation's policy; some organisations do not allow staff to copy information between student records

Note: The SynWeb copy and paste facility does not use the clipboard of your PC or Mac, so you can only copy and paste comments between students. If you use Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V to copy and paste comments, student names and pronouns are not corrected when the comment is pasted.

Examples
In the following example, and icons are highlighted beside each Topic Comment field.

    Note:     Synergetic displays the following message when there is pronoun ambiguity.


Copying and pasting parts of comments
SynWeb does not support copying and pasting parts of comments, due to the constraints of the web browser interface.
Consider using Synergetic if you need to use this feature.
