## Describe the problem/error/question

Is there an easy way to copy and paste a node from one workflow to another? I use self hosted version, if that matters for the specific case.

## What is the error message (if any)?

## Please share your workflow

```auto
(Select the nodes on your canvas and use the keyboard shortcuts CMD+C/CTRL+C and CMD+V/CTRL+V to copy and paste the workflow.)

```

## Share the output returned by the last node

You can literally copy & paste it.

So select the source node, press the keys ctrl/cmd + c.  
Open the destination workflow and press the keys ctrl/cmd + v.

The node should then appear there.
