The Insert Part feature is a hidden gem that allows referencing another part file, inside a SOLIDWORKS part! This is useful for simple multibody modeling when you need to reference only a part or two, and don't need the full capability and complexity of in-context assembly editing. In this video Insert Part will be used to combine two bodies that will constitute and a handle injection molded (overmolded) over a threaded insert.
Insert Part also has some unique capabilities, such as importing sketches and reference geometry, or dissolving the inserted part into it's original features.
