    Right click the part studio, select copy to clipboard.

    Create a new part, click the plus button and select paste tab.

    You can also move a part studio to another document. Alternatively, if you have many parts in a part studio, you can derive the part into another part studio and move it, or create a new document and derive from the original part studio.

    This copying a tab not just one part. How do you create a document of one part from a part studio that has multiple parts.

    In this case it depends. In a part studio a single feature, e.g. a sketch could be referenced by multiple parts so copying the model while maintaining the parametric history is not straight forward. If you don't need the parametric history you can always export the finished part into a new tab, then move the new tab to its own document. If you'd like to copy the part with all its parametric references, you could start by copying the whole part studio, then roll back to the start of the feature tree and start surprising features that are not driving the model you are trying to copy. One the features are working as expected you can delete the suppressed features and you will have a parametric copy of the part.  That would be the approach I would take.
