If I copy a scrap from the Junk Yard, does it get saved again?

Q: If I copy a scrap from the Junk Yard, does it get saved again?

No. When you copy something from the Junk Yard — clicking a card, the curtain or a Copy button — it goes onto your clipboard without being captured again. Only your copies from other apps become new scraps. The one exception is editing: saving an edited note or image always creates a new scrap on purpose, so the original stays untouched. See Why does editing a scrap create a new one?

Short answer: No. Copying a scrap from the Junk Yard puts it on your clipboard without capturing it again; only copies from other apps (and saved edits) become new scraps.
