Paste mechanics

When you paste in Jux, the system checks the properties of the copied element and applies the right rules to the new object.

For example:

• If you copy a source component and make changes, pasting it will create a new instance that still follows the original source component.
• If you copy an instance with certain properties selected, pasting it will keep those same property selections.
