How do I duplicate a layer in Affinity Photo 2 for iPad?

[Rob SF]

I know the answer’s obvious, but I have been trying for an hour, and simply can’t figure it out. There’s no place I can see when I have a layer selected that it simply says “duplicate.” I thought I saw somewhere—but I can’t find it now—that double-tapping with two fingers on the picture would duplicated the layer. This doesn’t work.

As usual, I look forward to a face palm when I get the answer.

Thanks.

One of the best ways to get the answer to your question is to post it, then go back and try once more to solve your own problem, which, in this case, I have. Selected the layer, then went over to the three dots in the upper left of the screen, where I found the Duplicate command. I had been trying to find it under the three lines.

The others ways are to duplicate a selected layer:

1. long press anywhere on screen to bring up the quickmenu, tap Duplicate

2. While holding two fingers on the screen, touch and drag the object.
