Drupal: Cloning a Page
[Level – Beginner]
Cloning a page in Drupal is helpful when you want to create a new page with similar content or structure.
Steps to Clone a Page:
-
Log in to the Drupal admin dashboard.
-
Navigate to Content > Content (admin/content).
-
Find the page (node) you want to clone.
-
Click the "Clone" option next to the page.
(Note: If you don’t see this, the Entity Clone module may not be installed.) -
A new page will open with the same content pre-filled.
-
Update the Title and URL alias.
-
Make any necessary edits to the content.
-
Click Save to publish the cloned page.
Cloning a page vs. creating a new page
If you want to create a new page under an existing section of your site that has some of the same content (Quick Links, Hero image), you would be better off cloning an existing page instead of creating a new page. Cloning a page would carry over the same Quick Links so that you don't have to input them all on the newly cloned page. You will, however, need to add the newly cloned page's link to the Quick Links section of all pages with the same Quick Links menu.
