Adding a page with copied content
Create a new page using sections copied from an existing page as a starting template.
Want to create a new page but start with content from an existing page? You can copy content when creating a page, which saves you from rebuilding everything from scratch!
What this does
Creates a new page with all the sections from another page.
Saves time. Don't recreate similar pages manually.
Gives you a template. Copy, then customize.
Keeps the original. The page you're copying from stays unchanged.
How to add a page with copied content
- Go to Site in your main navigation
- Click Add page
- Check Duplicate another page
- Select the page you want to copy from
- Give the new page a title
- Click Save changes
The new page is created with all the sections from the original!
What gets copied
All sections. Every heading, paragraph, image, timeline, everything.
Section settings. Colors, width, spacing all come along.
Content. Text, images, links, all of it.
Structure. The order and arrangement of sections.
What doesn't get copied
The page title. You'll give the new page its own title.
The slug. Auto-generated from your new title.
Privacy settings. Usually resets to default (check to be sure).
Position in navigation. The new page might appear at the end of your menu.
When to use this
Similar events. Copy your ceremony page to create a reception page, then just update the details.
Multilingual sites. Copy a page, then translate all the content for another language.
Consistent styling. You've styled one page perfectly. Copy it to maintain that look.
Starting point. Copy a page with your preferred layout, then customize the content.
After copying
Once you have the new page:
- Edit the content to reflect what this page is actually about
- Update sections that need different info
- Delete sections you don't need
- Add sections that are specific to this page
- Reorder if needed
The copied content is a starting point, not the final product!
Copying vs. creating blank
Copy when: You want a similar structure or styled layout.
Create blank when: You want something totally different.
If you'd end up deleting most of the copied content anyway, it might be faster to start fresh!
Common uses
Multiple event pages. Copy your "Ceremony" page to create "Reception", then update times and locations.
Language versions. Copy the English page, then translate for Spanish guests.
Consistent design. You like how your welcome page looks. Copy it for your travel page.
Templates for yourself. Create a well-styled page, copy it whenever you need that layout.
Tips for copied pages
Rename immediately. Don't leave the new page with a generic "Copy of..." title.
Review everything. Make sure you've updated all the content that needs to be different.
Check links. If sections link to other pages, make sure those links still make sense.
Update header images. The copied page might have a header image that doesn't fit the new page's purpose.
Copying pages speeds up your site building and helps maintain consistency across multiple pages!
