Removing Items from Boxes

You can easily remove items from boxes either manually or in bulk. If needed, you can also delete a box entirely!

Removing Items Manually

2. Enter the Length, Width, Height, and Weight of your box, then click Save Dimensions.

Copying Boxes

If you need to create multiple boxes with the same items, copying or duplicating boxes may save you some time!

Copy Box

Copy Box allows you to create multiple copies of one box.

1. To copy a box, click the kebab in the box heading and click Copy Box.
   
   
   
   
2. A modal will appear with the maximum number of copies you can make of the box. Change the quantity if needed, or just click OK.
