Can I (if so, then how) copy a drawing and make two paintings (In the fresh paint app)?

I use the fresh paint app all the time, and a "make a copy of this painting" setting would be SO nice. Especially in the side bar to the left of the screen with all the other settings. I imagine when you hit the button it would say something like, "Are you sure?" and then you click yes (or no) and then it creates a copy. The original should be marked with a little "O" or a similar symbol on the top right when choosing what painting you want to work on. (Maybe when you click on the symbol that marks it as the original it could say "this symbol means that this is an original painting.")

This would make it so much easier to make copies, but if there IS a way to create copies, please reply and explain to me how.

Thank you.

    Hello, User0613.

    Unfortunately, there are no Microsoft developers here. On this forum, ordinary users help each other...

    I recommend sending all wishes and new ideas about Fresh Paint to the developers by E-mail. To do this, open the Fresh Paint application and go to the "Settings" menu in it, and then select "Send feedback". The default mail client opens with a draft of the message. Write down what new features you would like to see in the app and send an email.

    Fresh Paint doesn't have a built-in "Duplicate this painting" button.

    If you want to submit this as a feature request to Microsoft, you can do so at feedback hub directly from your Surface and submit it there. Feature requests with clear UI descriptions like yours tend to get more traction.
