When you open a service from the Explorer the first time, the Service Panel and the service settings are displayed. The service panel is the most important panel because it gives you access to all contents of your service such as your BPMN models, your forms and your whole data model. The service panel is displayed in all editors. Also, it is the only immutable panel: Users can neither close it nor move it. The service panel is always displayed at the top of the left panel area.
Within the service panel, the contents of your service are organized into folders. As these folders are mandatory parts of a service, users cannot delete them.

Copying an Element
If you want to reuse an element in the service panel, select the context menu option Copy Item.

A copy of the element is created.
If you copy an item within the same element, the copy gets a new name.
Cutting and Pasting
If you want to use an element at a different position in the service panel or in another service in the same namespace, select the context menu option Cut Item.
The contents of the Implementation folder are an exception. Cutting and pasting elements from this folder is only possible within the same service (panel).
Open the context menu on the element to which you want to insert the cut element and choose Paste Item. The element is then moved to the new position.
The option Paste Item is only enabled if the element to be inserted fits into the hierarchy of the service panel tree. Pasting elements is only possible in the same namespace.
