Undistribute and Expand
The options Undistribute and Expand, which can be found in Studio's fly-out menu also apply to distributed art. If you select distributed art and you Undistribute, all other (non-selected) copies are deleted. If you have distributed art selected and you Expand, nothing will change visually yet the selected art will loose its 'intelligence' and become regular artwork, insensitive to actions like Update Copies or Undistribute.
You will need to use Expand if you start copying and pasting distributed art. The copy will still be considered as part of a distribution, by expanding it, it will no longer be seen as a distribution, but as an ordinary object.
Note:
When the distributed art is a group, ungrouping it is equivalent to applying Expand. The art does not longer know that it was distributed, even if you group it again.
There is no overlap between the selected objects and the selected panel
I try to distribute a logo, and I am getting the error message There is no overlap between the selected objects and the selected panel. Please select a panel that overlaps with the selected objects.
Whenever distributing for the first time, you will need to select two things: the graphics that you want to distribute in the 2D view AND the source panel in the Studio window. The 'no overlap' error message indicates that you did select a panel in the Studio window, but in 2D there is no overlap between the selected panel and the selected art.
It is a good idea to switch on Show Face Outlines in Studio's fly-out menu.

When Show Face Outlines is switched on, the selected panel in the Studio window will be shown in the 2D View:
You will immediately see that there is no overlap between the selected panel (the blue rectangle) and the selected art (the star), so you basically selected the wrong panel. You need to select a panel that has an overlap with the selected art:

Now you see that there definitely is an overlap between the blue rectangle and the star. You will notice that Distribute Selection will work, which will give you the following result:

Please note that you never had to specify to which ‘target panel’ you had to distribute, so how can you know which target panels will be taken?
