Clone a Page

It may be expedient to create a new page based on an existing page, instead of creating it from scratch. This applies if you've invested significant effort in the layout of a page and you want to create a new page with all or most of the same formatting—where content is the main difference.

 

 

  1. While viewing the existing page you want to clone, click the  Copy this page icon (in the middle of the page footer).

  2. In the Manager's Toolkit window, click the Make a copy! button. SBT returns you edit mode.

  3. Click Publish to save the new page on the website.

At this point, you have created an exact copy of the original page—with the following exceptions:
  • It will not be a container page, even if the original page was—therefore, it also will not have any subordinate (child) pages.
  • Two names likely are not as you want them:
 
  • The navigation panel link for the cloned page is identical to the original page link.
  • The Title Bar name is “Copy of xxxx”, where xxxx is the original page's name.

To correct these issues:

  1. While viewing the page in edit mode (where SBT returns you after you made the copy), click the Navigation tab.

  2. Change:
    Step One To the name you want to appear in the page's Title Bar;

    Step Two To the name you want in the navigation panel for this page;

    Step Three To the pop up hint you want to give the user when the mouse pointer is hovered over the link.

  3. Click Publish Step Four to save the changes (if you navigate to a different page without clicking Publish , your changes are lost; see  Edit Main Content Screen for the difference between Save and Publish ).

  4. Click the Page Control tab and review the options.

  5. Click Publish if you make any changes.
