When properties are copied from one view to another, all of the properties are applied so that the destination view matches the source view. This has the same effect as restoring the view.
The drag-and-drop technique in particular can be used to copy properties of views in two ways. The typical way is to drag the source node onto the destination node, which requires navigating the tree. But an additional technique for views is to drag the view node into the visualization display of the destination scene.
