Saving and opening files in Blender works like in any other program, but you can also bring objects and data into other files via appending and linking.
Appending fully copies the object to the new file while linking references it from the original file. Linked objects can only be edited in the original file unless properties, like transformations or material colors, are overridden.
The fastest way to append objects in Blender, if you have two files open at the same time using the same version of Blender, is just to use Ctrl C and Ctrl V to copy and paste between them.
One important topic in this lesson is how Blender handles images. The images themselves are only referenced from your computer and are not stored in the file itself unless you pack the file. You can learn more about this process in the Fundamentals of Texturing. b3d.cgcookie.c...

Got to admit the "luckily, this doesn't happen very often" line made me smirk.

[@arch.blender1178]

Excellent video, after a few year of arch modelling in Blender it was very helpful to get this refresher and learn some new things

[@itzakhil69]

this is just awesome..

[@rodolflum3444]

The thing is if you go object mode and ctrl c then exit blender then open a new blender and ctrl v it will paste the mesh object you copied. make changes on the new open blender do some changes and save it and exit. then when you reopen again and ctrl c it will paste that mesh object again.

[@Boglodituber]

The only masterpiece i can create lol 😂😂😂

[@rodolflum3444]

wow after 5 days when copy paste. it pasted the cube i changes again. and i rebooted my pc 3 times but the copied revised cubes can still be pasted. so it is save until you copy pasted a new one again

It would be useful if Blender didn’t override files with similar names without warning when saving or rendering like any other software.

[@muwanguzisamuelvictor7235]

It actually warns
