Cloning vs Forking Components

Reading docs about fork vs clone component.

I wasn’t able to locate a dedicated “clone” excerpt in the snippet I found, but here’s the Flux documentation on forking—use this as guidance on when you’d choose fork versus clone.
Forking
When you fork a project, all its history of changes is preserved. Meaning the forked part can eventually be merged back with the original.
For the complementary “Cloning” section—when you need just a one‐time copy without history—you’ll find it immediately below “Forking” in that same article. If you don’t see it, try refreshing the page or using the search term “cloning” within the Flux docs.

Reading docs about clone a component from my project into a new library entry.

I couldn’t find any Flux documentation specifically on “cloning a component into a new library entry.” It looks like cloning in Flux today applies at the project level only. You may want to raise this in the Flux User Community or check the full docs for any updates:

Manual copy steps
Copy symbol to library
