Which is the standard procedure to move an `uibuilder` node from one flow Tab to another, in NR editor?

When trying to move it with Ctrl-x ctrl-c I got scared by a message warning me that the instance will be deleted, and when trying to redeploy it to a new Tab, the message said that the folder name should not exist.

Confused...

When you do the ctrl-x and it asks if you want the folder deleting, just click No (which is the default button anyway).

Then when pasting, as you say, you get the error triangle. Simply open and close the uibuilder node then deploy or deploy and open/close, either will clear the error.

It is hard to get the right balance of warnings between ensuring that you cannot try and create a duplicate url vs being able to move things around.
