What Is Page Cloning?

Page cloning allows you to copy an existing page, either within your current account/station or to another account/station under your company. This feature is useful for:

  • Building websites efficiently, so you don’t have to recreate the same page multiple times.
  • Creating templates for similar or recurring content.

Page Cloning Example

How to Clone a Page

  1. Select Pages: Choose one or more pages to clone to your selected account destination(s).
  2. Cloning Details:
    • You can clone a page as a draft to use as a template for recurring or similar content within your account or to other accounts within your company.
    • The cloned version is independent from the original and will not sync with it.
    • You can edit or delete the cloned version as needed.
    • All widgets and custom HTML from the original page are cloned.
    • Sidebar placement and menu locations are not cloned and must be configured separately in the destination account(s).
  3. Choose the Page: Use the drop-down menu to select a page to clone, or start typing the page name to find it quickly.
  4. Set the Cloned Page Title: Customize the title for the cloned page as it will appear in the destination account(s).
  5. Click Add Page to Clone.
  6. Manage Pages to Clone: Review your selected pages. To remove a page, click the [X] beside it.
  7. Select Account Destinations: Choose the account(s) within your company where you want to clone the selected pages.
    • Use the drop-down to select the account/station.
    • Click the Clone button to complete the process.
