If the Auto generate IDs for elements option is turned off and you duplicate elements with existing IDs, the duplicates lose these IDs. If the previously mentioned option is active, when you duplicate content, Oxygen makes sure that if there is an ID attribute set in the XML markup, the newly created duplicate has a new, unique ID attribute value. If you cut and paste content, the moved element retains its ID.
