# Smart Copy

The idea behind *Smart Copy* ..

Copying components with the Boom UI can be painful. It allows you to *Copy with or without  Component Dependents*, but in the end in most cases you don't want either of them.

*Smart Copy* allows you to select the referenced components you want to copy. The pre-selection is smart because it recognises all referenced components in the same or in a sub-folder as *local* components which you normally want to copy, and it recognizes out-of-folder components as shared components which should not be copied.
