Cut, Copy, and Paste are grayed out

Cut, Copy, and Paste are grayed out for me. CTRL + C and CTRL + V do not work.
Box select does not work.
Can somebody think of a reason why these would be disabled?
Much thanks,

Hi and welcome to the forum!
I guess you still have an active task. To be seen by the Pencil near the text "Tasks".

Thanks Chris,
Yes, If I click the close button for the task or press the escape button then the sketcher closes and I can copy an item.
But I am watching a tutorial where the instructor is copying and pasting items with the sketcher open.
So I am wondering how to clear an active task while the sketcher is open.
Any advice would be apricated.
Also, thanks for the detailed tutorial.
I am working through it now.

There are around tutorials for 0.18 or older and many things has changed in respect to actual version.

Hi OpenBrain,
This is the link to the video tutorial which requires using cut and paste
https://youtu.be/Eka_0k5l0oM?t=672
It should open at the correct place in the video.
Thanks
