Module 4 of 6
Training / Building with Elementor / Lesson 4 of 9
The quickest way to add something new is to copy something that already looks right. You keep the styling and only change the words and pictures.
You'll learn
How to copy something that already exists and reuse it
Takes
About 4 minutes
You'll need
A page open in Elementor
Watch: “Containers: Move and Reuse”, an official video from Elementor. It shows the same job on their own demo site, so your screen may look a little different. The written steps below are the ones to follow.
1
Right-click it, or right-click its six dots, and choose Duplicate. A copy appears straight after the original. You can also press Ctrl + D, or Cmd + D on a Mac.
2
Click into the copy and change its text and images. The original is not affected.
3
Right-click the item and choose Copy. Open the other page in Elementor, right-click where you want it and choose Paste.
4
Open the page, click the arrow beside Publish and choose Save as Template. Give it a name. Make a new page, open it in Elementor, click the folder icon in the empty area, find your template under My Templates and click Insert.
5
Give the new page its own title and publish it.
Press Ctrl + Z or Cmd + Z, then click the second one, which is the copy.
Open both pages in the same browser, and copy again just before you paste.
Change the title in page settings, the cog icon in the top bar.
Tell us which page it’s on and what you’re trying to do. We can talk you through it or make the change for you.
