    Sure.

     

    1) When you press COPY then you can paste this query many times using PASTE option. As result you receive the same query with same connection and transformations. No connection to initial query.

     

    2) When you press DUPLICATE you can have only 1 copy of query at one time. To repeat this action you need to press DUPLICATE one more time. As result you receive the same query with same connection and transformations. No connection to initial query.

     

    3) If you press REFERENCE then it uses previous query as reference and apply all new steps based on reference query. Once you change initial query then it will automatically apply to dependent query. You can have many dependent queries which will change automatically once intial one is updated.

     

    I hope it is clear.
