Where is the paste new command in Fusion 2021?

I want to make an instance of  a component unique, i.e. not linked to the original component. I found posts from 2016 and 2019 that talk about paste new as opposed to just paste. Problem is that I have watched 2 different videos that were attached to the "solution" but when I follow the steps that were used in the videos, there is no paste new command in the shortcut menu that appears when I right click. Since the most recent post was from 2019 and apparently an updated to Fusion occurred after 2019, the question is was paste new eliminated or just moved somewhere else? The shortcut menus shown in the videos were very short, about 8 shortcuts listed in the drop down. In my version of Fusion the shortcut menu has over 20 items, but no Paste New shortcut. So I am assuming that there is no longer any way to create an independent "unique" instance of a component by copying and pasting "new". I need to create every independent instance from scratch. So can anyone tell me where past new is located" Because it's not where it's shown in the videos and I can't believe that a useful command that could improve productivity would be eliminated. Makes no sense.

Hi @foolsgold150

 

Try 'Copy' the local components (Not Bodies/External references), then 'Paste new' should show up when you right-click on the top browser or new component.
