I have created a goblin in the dangers. I wanted to copy the goblin multiple times and adjusting it by adding levels of classes or slight change of equipment and levels to make a subcategories under goblin. However, I don't want to re add all the info over and over for goblin. But I'm not finding any way to copy a creature and paste a duplicate of one.
Is this something that can be done? Or would I have to re add the goblin over and over retyping everything from ac to ecology. |

You can duplicate a whole topic with all its snippets by clicking on the wrench icon on the upper left of the topic.

I think kodarr aims to create a topic and copy it, to have Goblin appear multiple times as variations of it self - that is not possible. You can duplicate and alter a topic definition, but not copy a topic in it self.
My suggestion is to create the Goblin entry, and add snippets with various classes/challenge levels in the singular Goblin topic. Otherwise you have to create a "master" Goblin topic and add sub-topics with variants - and that means adding all the detail again and again. (Create a text file with all the common information and paste that into the individual topics and add variant info as an addition to each topic) Goblin - Goblin Hero - Goblin Chief - Gpblin Warrior - ... etc |

You can duplicate a Topic by picking Duplicate Topic from the Content Pane Options menu for that Topic (the hammer and wrench icon in the upper-right of the Topic while viewing it, or press F7). Alternatively you could create new, simplified Topics for the variations, perhaps in a cut-down version of the Category. If you're putting stats into the Topic, you could add more of the same type of snippet (Text/Statblock/Hero Lab/etc.) with the variations. If you're using Hero Lab for stats, you could also add more variations to a single portfolio if that works better for you. |

If you use Hero Lab I find it efficient just to have a Goblin Topic and inside that a Hero Lab Snippet that contains all the different variations of Goblins. Then when you trigger the portfolio you get to pick how many of each Goblin variant joins combat.
