GeoL Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 Are there any function that can copy the whole section from one page to another? I have some pages need the same section. I need to duplicate the page many time to achieve it. Can we have a function to make some custom section and save it for other pages within a site? tiffanyleebrown, HummingbirdRaven, webbroi and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment
Mikedownunder Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 I searched for a soln to this and tried Cust Support, but got no joy. It's a real pain in the butt. Same for moving or copying and pasting multiple bits and pieces between columns on the same page! Good luck. I'll be watching this. Oh I found a partial soln. Just duplicate the page and delete what you dont want on the new page, but that won't work for many situations. tiffanyleebrown, JulianDont and webbroi 2 1 Link to comment
JulianDont Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 Yeah bump on this request. So painful having to create from scratch the same sections from different pages. HummingbirdRaven, tiffanyleebrown and ALenz 3 Link to comment

There isn't a built in function for this. As others have mentioned, you can often copy a page to inherit sections from an existing page, but this isn't always suitable. Users building lots of sites - and therefore wanting to duplicate lots of sections - may appreciate knowing about the Tools PRO plugin for the Chrome Browser that allows you to duplicate sections.

tiffanyleebrown Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 This seems like such a basic need, I'm very surprised it isn't addressed by Squarespace but foisted off on Google Chrome (not a good browser for anyone concerned about privacy for themselves, their clients, or our teetering democracy) and a third-party plugin.

CopyCat Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 Woo hoo! Any idea on a timeline for the rollout?? I'm pulling my hair out over here!!! HummingbirdRaven and tiffanyleebrown 2 Link to comment
dreyahbohlen Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 If you're in Fluid Engine, you should be able to Ctrl + C a block and paste it in another section on another page and add all the blogs in a current section onto another. webbroi 1 www.dreyahbohlen.comInstagram | Facebook | TikTokBuy Me A Coffee Link to comment
Gert-Jan Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 It works perfect. Thank you dreyahbohlen 1 Link to comment
Daimon Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 I hope this will be added soon. Sure Ctrl+C works in some extent but if I'm creating a temp page where I design a section that will be eventually published it's really needed feature that I can clone that finished section directly to a published/live page. Or if I could hide a certain section on a page from public, that would be ok too. But cloning sections between pages is a better solution. Link to comment
HummingbirdRaven Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 Ctr+C doesn't work for me. And wanted to know when this feature will be rolled out, as I'm creating a site right now. Thanks! Link to comment

tiffanyleebrown Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 I hope this functionality won't be limited to 7.1 . So many people are still on 7.0 (I'm running sites on both). Link to comment

Salwood Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 I'm using 7.1 and there's a new feature where you can save a section (a heart symbol) then add that section into a new page from 'my saved sections'. Link to comment
Lucypaints Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 I'm trying to save a section and use it on another page, but... I can select the heart to save but when I go to insert saved sections the software just locks up and does nothing Link to comment
Ced500 Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 For my website, I searched a long time for this feature. Actually what turned out to be successful is to add a section on the footer section. OK it means this "copy-paste" section will always appear at the bottom of your pages, above the footer. But it works really fine and should answer at least 30% of your needs. No more hassle to copy-paste. Everything updated at the same time! Link to comment
