What happened to the "Copy To" option in Windows 11 File Explorer?

I can't believe that Microsoft removed the "Copy To" and "Move To" options in Windows 11 File Explorer! I used these options often! Unless I'm missing something, Microsoft just heavy handedly removed these options!

    I highly recommend using the file manager I settled on named XYplorer. It is on another level compared to Microsoft's File Explorer.

    I agree. I think MS has become so huge that it doesn't really care what its customers think, say or post. For example, why are Copy to and Move to not supported in the new File Explorer? And when people express their displeasure with the change why does MS refuse to listen and issue an update with a change?

    The copy to or move to available in windows works. So why would you remove it from windows 11? In my nearly 30 years of using windows programs, I thought Microsoft was trying to improve their programs for the benefit of the user. However, this change to windows 11, only makes things more difficult!
