EDIT MENU OPTIONS

These are common actions you find in the 'Edit' menu on computers or phones. They let you change or move text, pictures, or files.

Individual words:

•COPY: To make an exact duplicate of text or a picture. The original stays, and you can put the new copy somewhere else.

•CUT: To remove text or a picture from its original spot. It's saved temporarily, so you can move it to another place.

•DELETE: To erase or permanently remove something, like a file, text, or photo, from your computer or phone. It's usually gone forever.
