How do you separate parts made within the same Part Studio?

I'm new to Onshape.  I spent the day making 4 parts.  I made them in the same Part Studio, and started each sketch on the face / plane of the previous sketch, so I could reference the position of holes, etc.  Now, I'm trying to move the parts into drawings, but they seem to move as a single part.  I hope I didn't mess up.  Is there a way to separate the parts which are now stuck together?

You can use the derived feature to include a part (or parts) from one Part Studio in another.

If you derive parts from a Part Studio in the same document, they will update automatically when the base Part Studio changes, so you don't have to worry about the derived parts being out of date.

You can also make a drawing of a single part in a part studio by RMB on that part in the parts list and "Create Drawing of Part".
