How to copy CMS content

Duplicate an article

Duplicate gives you a ready-made copy of an article, an event, a place or a form, so the next one starts from what already works.

Find the item you want to copy with Search… and open it.

At the bottom of the editor, click Duplicate.

What the copy keeps

The copy opens at once, with Copy of before its title, the same text and photo, and the same section in Appears in.

It's saved as a draft: your app won't show it until you publish it.

In the Content list, it sits right next to the original, because it keeps the same writing date. The original doesn't change.

Another section

Now change what differs, starting with the title.

This icon sets the writing date to now, so the copy is dated today.

To publish it in another section, use Appears in: tick Global… and untick Local.

Then open the menu next to Save draft… and choose Publish.

Your app now lists the copy in Global, with today's date, while the original stays in Local.

Events and places

Events have the same Duplicate: a second date takes a few clicks.

The copy keeps the date, the time and the location. Pick the new day… here one week later. The end date follows.

Take Copy of out of the title… and publish it from the same menu.

Your app now lists both evenings, a week apart.

Places have Duplicate too… and the copy keeps the address, the spot on the map and the pin.

A whole form

A form is a section of its own, here with three answers. Open it with Edit the form… where Duplicate copies the whole section, with all its fields… and puts the copy under Other sections, outside your menu.

The answers stay with the original: the copy starts empty.

To name the copy and add it to your menu at once, open the section's settings and choose Duplicate this section.

Type its name… choose where it goes with Move the section into, and click Add.

The new form is at the end of your menu, ready to edit.

Copies reach your app as soon as you publish them. A new section, like this form, reaches it once you publish with Publish my project.
