Clone your content

What is cloning?

Create an exact copy of a published content item. If no published version is available, then the most recent draft will be cloned. Content that can be cloned includes action alerts, articles, events, pages, positions, and webforms. All of the original content's settings will be intact but you can make any changes before you first save the clone from its editing form

How to clone

There are three ways to reach the link to clone content:
  • from Manage Content
  • directly from the content while in view mode
  • from a content's context menu while in a list

The only requirement before you can clone content is that you must be listed as that content's author. Use the Operations menu from Manage Content to change the author of the selected content (then Execute). Follow this guide.

Operations menu in Manage Content

Clone from Manage Content

Locate the content item in the list then select the clone link under Operations.

Clone from View mode

While in view mode (view draft or view published), the link to clone is located under the webmaster tabs. 

Clone from View mode

Clone from Context menu

While on any page with a view, you can access the context menu for those content items. Just hover your mouse over that content item, click the cog/gear to open the context menu, then select the last option: Clone.

Once content is cloned

Your clone will be exactly the same as the original, with the exception of the words "Clone of" added to the beginning of the content's title. You can make any changes at the point of cloning or thereafter.
