Use the Import Details button on the Item form to copy citation information and associated electronic documents from an existing item to the currently open item. Clicking the Import Details button displays a list of previous items. Selecting an item in the list copies the item's citation information and, if it is an electronic document, the associated electronic file. You can elect to copy an item's item notes into a new item by setting the CloneItemNotes key. This feature provides an alternative to cloning, allowing you to copy information from one existing item to another existing item.
