This guide will help you duplicate a page or template created in EComposer when you want to reuse an existing design. By duplicating a page/template, you can quickly create a copy and customize it without affecting the original one.

1. Duplicate the page from the EComposer dashboard

Step 1: From the App Dashboard -> Pages & Templates.
Step 2: Find the page you want to duplicate.
Step 3: Click the More button ... next to that page.
Step 4: Choose Duplicate.

For example:

For a Standard or Landing page, open the Landing & Pages tab.
For a Product template, open the Product tab.
For a Collection template, open the Collections tab.

2. Duplicate the page from the Page Navigator

Step 1: Open the page/template in the EComposer editor.
Step 2: Open the Page Navigator.
Step 3: Select the page/template type you want to manage. For example, select Pages for Landing pages, or select the relevant template type, such as Product Page, Collection Page, Blog, etc.
Step 4: Find the page/template you want to duplicate.
Step 5: Click the Duplicate icon.

3. Important Notes When Duplicating Pages/Templates

The duplicated page/template is created as a separate copy, so changes made to the duplicated version will not affect the original one.
After duplicating a template, you may need to assign it to the correct products, collections, blogs, or other Shopify resources.
If the template is currently set as the default template, it cannot be duplicated directly. In this case, you can save that template to your library first, then create a new template and import the saved template from the library.

Alternative method: Save as a template and reuse it

You can also save your current page/template to the EComposer library and reuse it later. This method is useful when the page/template cannot be duplicated directly, such as when it is currently set as the default template.

Step 1: Open the page/template in the EComposer editor.

Step 2: Click the More button ••• in the top-right corner, then select Save to library.

Step 3: Create a new page/template where you want to reuse the saved design.

Step 4: In the editor, open Templates from the left sidebar, go to the My templates tab, then find the saved template and click Insert now.

Step 5: In the popup, select the insert options based on your needs, then click Insert to apply the saved template to your current layout. After that, customize and publish the new page/template as needed.
