Duplicate CMS Content

Duplicate CMS Content

This feature is useful if you wish to reuse the existing content of your app.
For instance:
- to create a second article in a different language, so you only need to translate the text in the copy of the article.
- to add a new event very similar to an existing event, so you only need to edit the few elements that require a modification.
- etc.

The duplication of content is available for: 
Specific items:
An article (from a Blog CMS section)
An event (from a Calendar CMS section)
A point (from a Map CMS section)

Specific sections with only 1 item:
- Section About 
- Section Form


1. Duplication of Specific Items

1. Go to the menu Content > Content list
2. Open the item you would like to duplicate.
3. Click "Duplicate" at the bottom of the page next to the status button.


A copy of this item will be created with a Copy at the beginning of the item title.
By default, this item will be in draft status when it's created.

You are redirected to the writing form of this item:
Edit the item 
Select the section/category in which you wish to display this item
Publish it

Warning: The date of the duplicated item (copy) will be the same as the date of the original item. Remember to update the date on your new item.
