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!

    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!

    On windows 11 they also increased the vertical spacing between right click menu items. If they didn't increase the spacing there would plenty of room for copy and paste. Probably phase one of the redesign so they can get ads in the right click menu.

    Me too. It enabled you to move different things to the same file with an easy click.

    Why do they make changes that create more effort instead of less?
