Grease Pencil
This Mode allows you adjust the timing of the Grease Pencil object’s animation frames. It is especially useful for animators blocking out shots, where the ability to re-time blocking is one of the main purposes of the whole exercise.
This mode can be accessed by changing the Dope Sheet editor’s Mode selector (found in the header to the far left) to Grease Pencil.
To use this editor mode, make sure you have a Grease Pencil object selected.

Insert Keyframe
Insert Keyframe I can be used for creating blank Grease Pencil frames at a particular frame. It will create blank frames if Additive Drawing is disabled, otherwise it will make a copy of the active frame on that layer, and use that.
Copying Frames
It is possible to copy frames from one layer to another, or from object to object, using the Copy and Paste tools in the Key menu. Note that keyframes will be pasted into selected layers, so make sure you have a destination layer selected.
Main View
The keyframes can be manipulated like any other data in the Dope Sheet. Interpolated keyframes (alias breakdowns) are visualized as smaller light blue points.
