What happened to Paste New operation?

I haven't posted recently, and am coming back with what is likely a stupid question, but "something" has happened to Paste New. I formerly was able to go to an existing model, select a component in the model, right click for drop-down 'COPY" command and select it, move to another new model screen, right click for a drop-down menu that showed "PASTE NEW", select it, and boom there's the component in the new model.

 

It doesn't seem to work this way anymore, either because I'm a dolt of some significance, and have forgotten something, or with all the updates while I have been not using Fusion regularly, and the fact that I'm using W11 Pro now, something has changed in some way that is maybe non-obvious. Anyone with a dope slap handy?

Destination file must be Assembly or Hybrid, for that menu item to become available.

 

If you don't know about the Part, Assembly, and Hybrid files, there are a few other threads here with a heated discussion.

 

Might help....
