sourceNode | The path of the node to be copied. | |
destinationNode | The path of the node that the sourceNode will be copied either into or alongside. | |
location | Either "before" or "after" and determines whether the copied node should be placed before or after its new sibling node. If no location is specified, the default is "after" | |
relationship | Either "sibling" or "child". This specifies the relationship that the sourceNode should have to the destinationNode after being copied.
