I believe it is based on the Chart ID ( bring up Param dialog, click on "Axis" tab, see chart ID at the bottom ). If you change a chart, the change will be applied to all charts with the same ID. If you save a layout under a different name, the 2 layouts willl share the same charts ( all identical chart ID's ) and any changes will be reflected in both layouts. I keep the default layout full of only blank panes and copy that whenever I want to start a new layout. Then I add new charts so they won't share their ID's with any other layouts. Or, sometimes I will copy a layout with existing charts, but if I want unique chart ID's I will immediately plot all new charts, duplicate the old param settings and then delete the old charts.
