A chart you cut or copy stays on the Clipboard until the next time you choose Cut or Copy (in FileMaker Pro or another application), restart, or turn off your computer.

If you copy a chart in Browse or Find mode, then paste it into a layout, the copy of the chart is a bitmap image that will not update when data changes and which you cannot edit.
