In document https://meta.stoplight.io/docs/platform/2nebi9gb2ankj-override-model-properties#mask-reference-guidelines, what is meaning of

If a mask references another model, you can apply a mask of that model, but you can't change the model itself. please provide example.

    Hello Sagar, Yes, you can apply a mask to someone else's model, however, you can not currently make any changes to that model if you are not the originator. You can make a copy of the model and paste in your component library, then make changes to the model. That will work. I am sorry I do not have any examples to share with you. I hope to see you at the Masking Webinar. Thanks!
