| When you execute the "Copy" action on a block, it creates a new entry in the "Clipboard" section of the Page Blocks toolbox. Inserting the block from the clipboard adds an exact replica of the block, including its configuration, as it existed at the time of copying. |

How exactly do you insert a block? I'd focus on the steps, not the behavior of the system, something along the lines of:
"To do it, in the block's toolbar, click Copy. Then, in the Page Blocks toolbox, copy the content of the Clipboard section. You can now switch to another page and insert the block by..."
