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!

    nice to have cut, copy & paste. BUT that's not the same thing as moving a document. why multiple steps when many of us frequently used one step to move documents or photos from one folder to another

    This doesn't always show up, with no rhyme or reason.

    I tried File V2 and found it has next to no support for searching files. You can search for non-indexed files, but there is no way to save a search. It does not even save the search query in the search list box! This is a deal breaker for me.

    So I'm back to using the Windows 10 version of File Explorer.
