Copy a section from one page to another

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?

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.

Yeah bump on this request. So painful having to create from scratch the same sections from different pages.

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.

See this existing post about duplicating or saving sections:

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.

bump for request

Bumping this too. Would be a great feature.

Yes please. I want this too 🙂

This is coming soon! 🙂

You'll be able to choose a section from one page and reuse it on other pages of your site.

Woo hoo! Any idea on a timeline for the rollout??

I'm pulling my hair out over here!!!

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.

It works perfect. Thank you

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.

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!

Are you on macOS? Try Command-C.

Bumping this request because this is an extremely basic function that needs to exist in order for any website builder to be useful.

Bumpity bump bump

They released it for a second, but then took it away! I saw it and tried it on Nov 30 night, but then the feature disappeared when I went back yesterday. 😞

It still beta, they will release it soon 😆

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).

It is limited to v7.1. The feature is based on page sections and v7.0 does not have page sections. Page sections were introduced in v7.1.

With 7.0, you can use this extension to save a section.

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'.

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

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!
