# Paste Components/Component Folders to Target Project Dialog Box

This dialog box enables you to select the way in which components and component folders are copied from one project to another project.

To access | In the source project, right-click a component or component folder and select Copy. Open the target project as the same user in a separate browser window. In the target project, right-click a folder below which you want to insert the copied component or component folder, and select Paste.
Important information | Run information is not copied. The source and target projects must use the same ALM version and patch level. If the component path in the target project already exists, and a business component in a test or flow matches the name and signature of an existing component (meaning the number of parameters, and so on), the existing component is linked to the business process tests or flows that include it, and the original component is not copied. When you copy a business component, its associated application area is also copied. However, if an application area with the same name already exists in the target, the application area is not copied, and the new component is linked to the existing application area. Check to ensure that the application area in the new location has the correct settings and resource files.

User interface elements are described below:

UI Element | Description
--- | ---
Copy components/component folders and link to existing related entities | ALM copies the components or component folders and pastes them into the target project. The copied components or component folders are linked to related entities with the same name and path. If an entity does not exist in the target project, ALM copies it to the target project and links it to the component.
Copy components/component folders and related entities | ALM copies the components or component folders along with the related entities and pastes them into the target project. If a related entity already exists in the target project, the copied entity is renamed to resolve the duplicate name.
Copy components/component folders without copying related entities | ALM copies the components/component folders without copying related entities, and pastes them into the target project. The copied items are not associated with any entities.
