How do I replace one layer with another?

How do I replace one layer with another and take all its specifications(size, scale, position, effects…) in after effects?

click on the layer or highlight everything press CTRL-C, then where you want it. click at a starting point and CTRL-V or CTRL-Shift-V to paste in place.

thank you
but not working just add layer

Did you try highlighting the keyframes?
