Replacing a component by copying with a new name, then replacing

I often want to update a component, but still want to see what the original looked like…so what’s the ‘right’ way to put the new version of a given resource (i.e. a UI page, UI dialog, etc.) into place?
You can’t delete the original cause it’s used elsewhere…

Dave says (paraphrased): Copy the thing you’re wanting to work on, it will add a ‘2’ to the them, then change the reference to the original name to the copied. You can use the ‘Where Used’ section of the Component page, Business Object page, etc to find all the references.

You can also use a different branch, but that’s more complicated, so the above is the most used technique
