Since 2.10 is now in wide usage, Gimp 2.10 questions should go in the general section. You can no longer ask questions here, but you can still answer existing questions."

If you paste something into an image opened in Gimp, the pasted part is a temporary layer called "Floating selection", and "promoting" it could be making that a plain layer (with Layer>To new layer).
