Check that it worked
- The duplicate appears as a separate object in Hierarchy.
- Undo restores the previous editor state.
- Redo reapplies the undone action.
Useful tips and common mistakes
- Move a duplicate immediately so overlapping copies do not look like one object.
- Undo history is for recent editing; Version history is for saved scene states.
