Can anyone tell if there is a reason you can’t duplicate a global module? It seems like that would be really easy and helpful feature to have. It looks like the only way to copy a global module is to grab the html, go into a template, paste it in a new module, make it a global module and then delete it from the template so I can use it later… ---

Hi @leckerman The Design Manager is set for a reboot very soon. I’ve brought this to the dev team’s attention for a further look. More to follow soon. Thank you, Ed Justen ---

Hi @leckerman Global modules are now cloneable by right clicking on the module’s name in the left Finder sidebar. ![Screen Shot 2018-03-30 at 11.35.24 AM.png](https://d2qpr2jzcazej7.cloudfront.net/original/3X/c/3/c370c502765ceae3cc59cbd9a7c310be8efc6677.png) Thank you, Ed Justen ---

Hi @edjusten - Exciting news! However, I am not sure where you are in HubSpot to access that left Finder sidebar. Is that a new interface for Design Manager that I haven’t been upgraded to yet? Doesn’t look familiar. ---

Hi @edjusten - I actually tried signing up for the Beta a few hours ago, but never received an invite. I would love to get in there and start exploring the new functionality. Fingers crossed I hear back from someone soon. Any idea when they expect this to all go live officially? Thanks for the heads up! ---

@leckerman Still a bit of work to be done, so not anytime soon. I’m confident the beta team will reach out soon. If you don’t hear back in a couple weeks send me a PM. Thank you, Ed Justen
