Please, let's move halfway so we don't break workflows already established.
For example, someone has already developed lessons for that involve keeping
Physics models at various stages of development. "Keeping a copy" from the
Activity tool bar is a part of that.
Could we instead hide the "Keep a copy" button so that it only appears on
the pressing of the 'Alt key'. this should take away the temptation for
the 'unsweetened' to become 'bitter'. It will take a while before old
habits change and a new mental model of keeping ones work takes hold.
