 You can hand edit only the Left side. This includes deleting bad data BUT There does not appear a way to stop the automatic copy to a blank
if the existing data is wrong .
You will see a Next Button if you used the Ctrl-D with multiple books which allows you to hand process each one

- All of the people I have introduced to calibre find this 'variant' preferable to the one in Edit Metadata. They especially like that it allows them to view the book in the Review step.
To help overcome limitations, such as the one mentioned by
theducks, it would be good if the Mark Book feature was available (button next to View Book), you could put a note as to why it's Marked at the top of Comments.
