Copying a Page

Last updated
Re-use a page or a tree structure you have previously created by copying the parent page and its child pages to a different section within the site structure.
When you copy a parent page all of its child pages are also copied, by default. You can choose if you want to copy the child pages or not. You can also choose whether the links should be automatically updated or continue to link to the original pages.
You can copy a page in two ways:
Go to Content.
Right-click the page you wish to copy and select Copy. Alternatively, click ••• next to the page, select Do something else and click Copy.
A window appears next to the section tree. Here, you can choose where you want to copy the page in the tree structure.
Toggle Relate to original button if you want to keep the links linked to the original page.
Toggle Include descendants if you want to copy the child pages alongside the parent page.
Click Copy.
A confirmation message appears. Click OK to dismiss the confirmation message.
Go to Content.
Select the page you wish to copy.
Select Actions in the top-right corner of the screen.
Select Copy from the Actions drop-down menu.
A window appears next to the section tree. Here, you can choose where you want to copy the page in the tree structure.
Toggle Relate to original button if you want to keep the links linked to the original page.
Toggle Include descendants if you want to copy the child pages alongside the parent page.
Click Copy.
A confirmation message appears. Click OK to dismiss the confirmation message.
When you select Relate to original, Umbraco will create a relationship between the original and copied page. This relationship can be used to programmatically link the pages - For example, linking two pages in a multilingual setup. This relationship does not sync the content between the original and copied page.
