@AndySmith You can use the section favourites for this. Hover over the section with the accordion you want to copy then click the heart button. Go back to the draft page and add a new section, then select the new one from the favourites. From here, you should be able to copy and paste the block from the new section to an existing one, or you can reuse the new section you just added.

Thanks @CassAggett - this is really useful. To be clear though, there's no way of easily copying the content from an individual content block, rather than copying the entire section that the content block sits within?

There are two built-in ways to copy Blocks.

1. Using Saved Sections as CassAggett has described

2. You can use the keyboard shortkey CTRL+C and CTRL+V (CMD+C and CMD+V for ios). This works for the same page or across different pages.

There is a third way, but it involves a third-party paid chrome extension SquareTool Extension Pro. This additionally allows you to copy across different Squarespace websites, as well as a bunch of other features. It's probably an overkill if you are only looking to copy a Block.

Let me know how it goes.

Ah I've always had trouble copying and pasting between pages, but it worked fine on the same page! I'll have to give it another go.

It's so handy! I am on windows and chrome. It will be good to know if it doesn't work for you.
