Onshape is too hard to find parts in, and Onshape cannot import existing parts into a new document

Building a part in Onshape is easy and reliable.
But that's not all you need from an engineering program. You also need to organize your work neatly, find things easily years later, and copy and paste parts into new documents. None of those options is available with Onshape, and unless they have fixed this or I am mistaken, it's a reason to not use it if you can afford better programs.
Looking for a part I made in the chain of versions is extremely time consuming. The names in the lists appear and disappear, the parts are not pictured next to the names. It's not a go
Entire documents are indeed nicely arranged and sortable and searchable and see-able...but it appears it is IMPOSSIBLE to export a part I am working on into a new document and then have that as a separate document.
Shame. For me it's just a matter of time till I switch to something better. Unless someone can point me in the right direction...
