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.

How to Clone a Page
- Select Pages: Choose one or more pages to clone to your selected account destination(s).
- 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).
- Choose the Page: Use the drop-down menu to select a page to clone, or start typing the page name to find it quickly.
- Set the Cloned Page Title: Customize the title for the cloned page as it will appear in the destination account(s).
- Click Add Page to Clone.
- Manage Pages to Clone: Review your selected pages. To remove a page, click the [X] beside it.
- 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.
