How to 'paste' the clipboard into the stack?
Hmm, lets look in Add block incase a paste option..
Nope. I can add a new content block, but not paste.
Maybe I'm missing something?

In the previous version we could convert a block to global block.
One more thing:
I'm copying a block to the clipboard, then paste it on another page.
On the page where I pasted the copied block, I see the red border of the block in edit mode is lighter then others. I'm editing the block, i get this msg:
"This block was copied from another location. Editing it will create a new instance of it."
Is this just an info, that the block is copy of another, or what?
Can I do some extra thing with it?
I'm also tried to edit the original block, but the instances are not changed.
Please help me to figure this out too :)
Hope that helped... :)
This is a missing feature. Probably just missed when redesigning the new Stack system, which is awesome as a whole.
I'll submit this and reference this forum entry as a feature request.

Even better, would be the ability to copy an existing block directly into a stack.
It is also noted that editing a stack block on a page will disassociate it with the stack -- however the option should be provided to the user really. Or when additional permissions to allow editing from pages or similar.
Just thought I'd add some feature ideas.
