- You can create copies of documents in the Library using copy and paste and drag-and-drop. Copying a document creates a unique document, with a new Document ID. After creating the copy, you can edit or rename it without affecting the source document.
- If the original document links to other documents, the Developer breaks or maintains the links in the copy depending on the direction of the link. Pasting a copy maintains the links that go down the hierarchy (from parent to child) and breaks the links that go up the hierarchy (from child to parent).
- Note:
- The following describes how using Paste to create a copy in the Library affects document links.
- Original document links to a parent.
- The link is broken. The new copy does not link to the source document's parent.
- Original document links to child documents.
- The new copy links to the source document's children.
- Original document is both a child document linked to a parent and a parent document linked to child documents.
- The new copy does not link to the source document's parent, but links to the source document's children.
