How to Duplicate Content in Squarespace
TL;DR: Key Points
- Duplicating pages and content in Squarespace saves time and keeps your design consistent
- You can duplicate pages, blocks, products, and even entire sites
- URL slugs and product inventory don't copy automatically (you'll need to update them manually)
- Full site duplication works well for testing changes or creating backups
Why Duplicate Content on Squarespace?
Duplicating pages, blocks, and products in Squarespace speeds up your workflow. Instead of building from scratch, you use an existing page as a starting point and keep the same design and settings. This saves time and keeps your site looking consistent.
How to Duplicate Basic Elements
Pages and Blocks
- Open the Pages panel in your Squarespace dashboard
- Hover over the page or block you want to duplicate and click the duplicate option
- Confirm the duplication. Your new page or block appears in the 'Not Linked' section
- Edit the duplicated content by changing titles, layout, or other elements
Collections and Products
To duplicate products, go to your store page, open the product details, and use the duplicate feature. You'll need to update inventory and SKU details manually since these don't copy over.
When you duplicate blog posts or event listings, Squarespace adds "(Copy)" to the title and URL. You can change this in the settings.
Pixelhaze Tip: Always check the URL slugs and meta descriptions of duplicated pages. Update them to avoid SEO problems and make sure each page has unique content.
Special Considerations for Advanced Elements
Duplicating Entire Sites and Complex Items
You can duplicate full sites using Squarespace's site duplication feature. This works well for backups or testing changes without affecting your live site.
Complex items like videos with custom settings or products with specific inventory needs might require manual tweaks after duplication.
Understanding Section and Block Limitations
Newer Squarespace sites with Fluid Engine sections let you duplicate multiple blocks at once. This feature isn't available in older Squarespace 7.0 sites or classic editor sections.
FAQs
Can I move a duplicated page to a different location in my site?
Yes, you can drag and drop the duplicated page or block anywhere within your site structure.
Will duplicating a product copy its inventory details?
No, you need to manually update inventory and SKU details since they don't duplicate automatically.
Can I duplicate an entire website?
Yes, Squarespace lets you duplicate entire sites, which is perfect for creating backups or staging environments.
Jargon Buster
Fluid Engine Sections: Flexible layout sections in newer Squarespace sites that let you create dynamic designs beyond traditional fixed layouts.
URL Slug: The part of your web address that identifies a specific page. You can edit this after duplicating a page.
Collection Items: Content types like blog posts, products, and events that you can duplicate to keep consistent formatting across your site.
Wrap-up
Duplicating content in Squarespace speeds up your workflow and keeps your design consistent. Whether you're copying a single block or an entire page, this feature helps you manage content more efficiently. Just remember to customise duplicated content for your specific needs and update URL slugs to maintain good SEO.
