I'm very new to Blender and I'm watching Grant Abbitt's tutorial and it's so good but I got 1 bug. When I need to add a material to an object, this material goes to every object which i copied from the original!

I already tried to click on the object and set a custom material but still the same, i can't get two objects (copied) with a different material. Anyone can help?

This is the video i followed Complete Beginners Guide to Blender 2.8 | Free Course | Part 4 | Materials, but it does not work for me.

Possibly, you've copied the object using altD (duplicate linked), you should use shiftD (duplicate object) instead so that the new object will have its own data.

"duplicate linked"

is called a deep link. This will create a new object with all of its data linked to the original object.

See the documentation here.

Just for completeness, Blender lets you associate a material with the Object, rather than its Mesh, even on a per-face basis, by selecting 'Object' in the dropdown in the lower right of the area illustrated below:

All these cubes are AltD instances of one another:

You can make your object a single user with its own material Go the 3d view header and use

Blender Object - Relations - Make single user enter image description here Object > Make Single User > Object & Data & Materials + Tex.
