To reuse the same configuration within a course, educators can duplicate or
copy and paste the configured XBlock. However, changes made to the original
XBlock are not reflected in the copies.

**********************************
Duplicate or Copy an LTI Component
**********************************

Starting with the Verawood release, you can duplicate a directly configured
LTI Consumer XBlock or copy and paste it into another unit or course. An LTI
1.1/1.2 copy continues to reference the same LTI passport, which must also
exist in the destination course. An LTI 1.3 copy retains the Client ID,
Deployment ID, Keyset URL, and Access Token URL, so you do not need to register
each copy separately with the external tool.

Components that use a reusable LTI Store configuration can be duplicated or
copied in the same way. Each copy retains the same Filter key and fetches the
configuration from LTI Store when it is used, so updates apply to every XBlock
that references that key. XBlock-level settings remain independent across copies.
