Mirror Part

I have created a righthand version of a part and wish to mirror that part for a left hand version as a standalone part. I have used the mirror command about a plane which achieves the left hand part but when I try to modify the "mirrored" part it refers back to the original part. What am I doing wrong ?

Pay attention to your Feature Tree. It regenerates in order. Below, I was able to poke a hole in the right-hand part and fillet the left-hand part because those two features come after the mirror. If I was to modify Sketch 4, that would modify both parts, because it is before the mirror.

Makes perfect sense, thank you !
