1. A computer-implemented method for editing software documents, the method comprising the steps of:
- identifying at least one user selection of at least a portion of a first document displayed within an application;
prompting a user for a target destination inside a document instance of a second document to which said user selection is to be posted, wherein the document instance visibly presents at least a portion of the second document for selecting the target destination;
receiving a user input specifying the target destination inside the document instance to which the user selection is to be posted; and
, duplicating said user selection to said target destination inside the document instance wherein the duplicating visibly inserts the portion of the first document within the document instance at the target destination and updates the second document to include the portion of the first document at the corresponding target destination.
