How do you turn the result of an action (mirror) into a new separate part to be edited separately?

How do you turn the result of an action (mirror) into a new separate part to be edited separately from the original?
I have a part that has many aspects I want. I mirrored it, but I want to delete and add new features to the result. I assume I want a new part to do this too.
On the other hand, I don't mind sharing features between the parts, but some will not be shared and I don't know how to share some aspects while still being able to merge differences into two different final solids.

- Create the part with all features that are common between the parts.
- Mirror the part to create a new part. This will create a new instance that you can apply edits to.
- Add the unique features to each part.
Here's a part studio as an example.Lead Mechanical Engineer @ Healing Innovations
