As the title says, whenever I edit a duplicated layout it edits the original layout. How can I edit the duplicated layout without editing the original layout?

I apologize if this has already been answered, I couldn't find an answer.

Check if any layers are set as global.

I'm not sure I understand? What do you mean?

From the official manual:

Global layers
Sometimes many layouts in a project have the same content on a particular layer, such as for interface or HUD overlaid on to the game. Changing this content then becomes a chore since changes must be repeated on every layout. Global layers are aimed at solving this problem.
If a layer's Global property is set to Yes, then every layer in the project with the same name is overridden by that layer. The initial objects, as well as its properties, are used instead of the other layer's own content and properties. Then changes can be made once to the original global layer, and the changes will be applied project-wide.
