Can’t duplicate rule into style.copy.css from bootstrap.css. Help please. ![Screen Shot 2021-07-18 at 1.19.09 PM](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex036/uploads/pinegrow/original/2X/8/855fb6ba5b31a85afe56b4ee883cefc75cc60254.png) ![Screen Shot 2021-07-18 at 1.20.06 PM](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex036/uploads/pinegrow/original/2X/0/0dc3577fff6d76188c03bfa30521bc2f31f08fcb.png) ---

Hi @kat, Your screenshots are a little confusing. It looks like you have a rule selected in you `style.copy.css` file selected when you are pulling up the context menu. You should have the rule selected in the bootstrap.css section, then right-click for the context menu, select `style.copy.css` in the duplicate dropdown, and then click on duplicate. Sometimes people forget this last step. Hope this helps, Bob ---

How do I get a new bootstrap.css in case I accidentally overwrote anything? ---

From the “Components” menu select “Add/Update resources from libraries…”. Then in the pop-up select the overwrite checkbox at the bottom and choose to update for the whole project. Cheers, Bob ---

I’m trying to get rid of extra space but still can’t duplicate BT css. So far what works is to write the rule directly in VSC css panel and edit there. Would prefer to copy BT rule by control clicking to add to style.copy.css in PG. But duplicate in blue panel clicking or hitting return does nothing. Help please. ![DuplicateBT_rule](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex036/uploads/pinegrow/original/2X/6/658e5391d9b4ed67d7bef38c16e3970c68946b3d.jpeg) ---

Hi @kat, Two things, 1. After selecting where to copy the rule, are you clicking “Duplicate”? 2. Be careful about over-riding CSS by just making a duplicate rule. The only reason your new rule would over-ride the old one is the load order. Just keep this in mind. Cheers, Bob ---

Hi @kat, After selecting the rule and opening the dropdown: ![-users-robertmeans-dev-kat-dup-indexhtml---pinegrow-web-editor---wp](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex036/uploads/pinegrow/original/2X/8/8bf0ea15596c9334d7ca09d8d9b034ecc3149eca.jpeg) And the result is (starting with an empty style.css file): ![-users-robertmeans-dev-kat-dup-indexhtml---pinegrow-web-editor---wp-1](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex036/uploads/pinegrow/original/2X/e/e7a8d5fa65fa72ef3109100355ce5954dfbeff70.jpeg) With regards to changes to the padding on the p element. Each part of a CSS selector has a different value (sort of). Those with higher values will over-rule those with lower values. A “class” selector has a higher value than an element selector. In Bootstrap you overcome padding values by adding a class. So a base paragraph element has a `margin-bottom` of `1rem`. This can be overcome within Bootstrap by adding a class of `.mb-0`. This will give it a `margin-bottom` of `0` - padding is almost the same `.pb-0`. If you want a custom value I recommend adding a new class, for example `kat-pb`. But then, create a selector of `p.kat-pb` to create the actual rules. That way it has a higher value than just `p` alone. Bootstrap makes use of `!important` a lot! Can’t really overcome that except with another `!important`, so just make sure you don’t have any conflicting classes from Bootstrap like `.pb-0` on the same element. Cheers, Bob ---

1. Your explanation was a huge help, Rob and the click on Duplicate in the image was perfect! 2. Here is a helpful old PG Page tutorial (date stamped). But really hard to find on youtube. [Pinegrow Walkthrough - YouTube](https://youtu.be/q0SA2NxJbOU?t=452) I’m hoping you’ll do update. 3. Should I make new classes to control Surprise me new fonts & colors? ---

Hi @kat, I recently did a tutorial on adding CSS in Pinegrow, but realize now that I only covered duplicating a rule, not duplicating to a new sheet. I’m not sure what you mean for the surprise me. When you click that it will change existing colors and fonts unless you have them locked. Any new color classes or font classes will also be changed. It just depends on what you want to achieve. Cheers, Bob ---

Hi @kat, We have encountered this error and it will be fixed in the next version coming soon. In the meantime, open the “\_pginfo” folder in your project and delete the “class.tracker.json” file. This should take care of it. Cheers, Bob ---

Huh, can you check using the OS file explorer? Maybe Pinegrow isn’t updating the files. Thanks, Bob ---

You can try deleting backups - shouldn’t matter. We might need to look at your project. ---

> open the “\_pginfo” folder in your project and delete the “class.tracker.json” file “class.tracker.json” just showed up. I deleted it. I close and reopen a lot; command R doesn’t seem to do the trick. Watched your SVG and a bunch of bootstrap tutorials. They help a lot. ---
