How to Duplicate a Page on Your Squarespace Website
There are many capabilities that are super helpful when building your Squarespace website, and duplicating a page is one of them.
Not only does it save time, but it also saves mental energy from having to recreate a design from scratch.
If youβve ever wondered how to copy content from one page to another in Squarespace, this post is for you.
Iβm breaking down how you can duplicate your work in Squarespace 7.0 and 7.1 (find out the difference here) so that youβll know how to use this featured no matter which version youβre currently using.
Duplicate index pages in Squarespace 7.0
Duplicating index pages in Squarespace 7.0 is a little more complicated than a normal page.
If youβre not familiar with index pages, they are used in the old version of Squarespace to allow backgrounds to be stacked on top of each other as you scroll down a page, whether itβs a colored background or banner image.
Index pages are identifiable by their βhamburgerβ menu icon. Youβll notice this in the images below.
Here are the steps...
1. Add a new index page
Under pages, scroll down to the Not Linked section. Click the β+β icon, and choose Index Page.
Itβs important to add it under the Not Linked section because you donβt want the page to be visible from your primary navigation until itβs ready to go live.
2. Duplicate each subpage under the page you want to recreate
Iβve named my new index page βExample Indexβ as you can see below.
Go to the index page you want to duplicate. In this example, Iβm using my βSquarespace SEOβ page.
Use the dropdown arrow so you can view all the subpages at once. Click the gear icon next to the top subpage.
In the pop up window, click βduplicate page.β Then click βconfirm.β
3. Drag the duplicate subpages under the new index page
Squarespace will have automatically moved all of the copied pages at the top of the Not Linked section. You can simply click and drag the page under the newly created index page.
Youβll see them move from a standalone page to a subpage when you move them below the new index page. You can repeat this step for each subpage.
4. Rename each page and URL
All of the copied sub pages will have β(copy)β after the name. Youβll want to rename these to describe the content on the page.
Click the gear icon on each page and change the page title, navigation title, and URL slug to be more unique.
This might be easier once youβve updated the copy so you can rename the pages accordingly.
Duplicate a single page in 7.0 or 7.1
A single page is a page that has the below symbol next to it.
A Squarespace 7.0 example is on the left and 7.1 is on the right.
Note: because Squarespace 7.1 removed index pages, you donβt need to worry about duplicating sub pages. Those previous sub pages and not just sections on a single page.
Directions
This is very similar to Step #2 above. Once you find the page you want to duplicate, you simply click the gear icon, scroll down, and click βduplicate page.β
Yepp, itβs that easy!
Youβll also want to follow Step #4 above by changing the new pageβs title, navigation title, and URL slug.
