How do I copy a page?

ACM's Copy Page feature allows you to copy a single page from one location to another within the same site. The copied page retains all content, design and settings information from the original page, but does not retain child pages or the history associated with the original page.

1. Click the Full Edit icon for the page you wish to copy.
2. In the Page Summary section, locate the Copy Page field.
3. Click on the <<Select Page>> link.
4. Select the new parent page and click OK.  The copied page will become a Child Page of the selected parent page.
   A message is displayed once the page has been successfully copied. The new page will be Published if the copied page was published, otherwise it will have a status of Draft.
5. Repeat the procedure for each additional copy of this page you wish to make.

How do I locate my newly copied page?

The pasted page will be placed at the bottom of the list of child pages (if numeric) or in the correct sorted spot (if alphabetic), exactly as if the page had been created through the New Child Page drop down.  Use the Site Menu to browse to the page.  Next, click the Full Edit icon and make changes as needed.

The following is retained by default from the copied page:

• The pasted page will retain the Title, URL Title, HTML Title, Teaser, and Active status from the copied page.
• The pasted page will retain all custom properties from the copied page, including any HTML content and stored settings.
• The pasted page will retain the alphabetic child page ordering setting from the copied page.
• The pasted page will retain the workflow associated with the copied page.
• The pasted page will retain the personalization settings from the copied page.
• The pasted page will retain the metadata information from the copied page.
• The pasted page will retain the pagelet zones and pagelet settings from the copied page.
• The pasted page will retain the follow up task information from the copied page.
• The pasted page will retain all site design information from the copied page, including the template, whether or not the parent’s template is being used, whether or not the parent’s variable value is being used, the variable value, and whether or not the page is included in the section menu, the children are included in the section menu, the page is included in the child page list, the page is included in the site map, or if the page is included in searches.
• The pasted page will not retain the child pages from the copied page.
• The pasted page will not retain the workflow status of the copied page, but will be created as a Published page if the copied page has a published version or as a Draft page if the copied page does not have a published version.
• The pasted page will not retain the historical information from the copied page.
• The pasted page will not retain the parent page of the copied page, but will use the page it was pasted onto as the parent page.
