If the deployment group contains global shortcuts, the wizard does not reestablish them when you copy them to the target repository. If you copy a global shortcut alone, the wizard completes the copy operation but does not copy the shortcut. If the global shortcut is part of a composite object you want to copy, the copy operation fails.

To ensure that global shortcuts are preserved when you copy a composite object, verify that a copy of the object, including the shortcut, exists in the target repository. When you copy the object for the first time, consider copying the entire folder. You can then use a deployment group to copy subsequent versions of the object.
