A way to copy module scheme from one assemly to another

Sorry if this question is dumb but if is a way to copy module scheme from one assembly to another?
I have working place for red circuits and now with 3-level modules I want to enhance it with them.
But should I manually insert modules into every assembly or there is the way to simple copy the scheme like designation of assemblies, filter inserters or requester chests?
I can simple add three identic modules by right click but if I want to insert 2 red, 1 blue and 1 green into each, it is very manual work.
May be there are some shortcuts, I can't find yet?

AFAIK, this is only possible with blueprints and bots.

You can use your construction bots and the logistic network to do it quickly this way:

You can create a blueprint copy of an assembler equipped with the modules and set to the task you want it to perform. Then, using a deconstruction planner set to remove only assemblers, you get the bots to remove the assemblers you want to reconfigure and you use the blueprint you made earlier to put back the assemblers with the modules you want.
