# 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?](https://storagestudio.us/faq/junk-yard/why-does-editing-a-scrap-create-a-new-one)
