Cloning Pages
Smart Author allows authors to make an exact copy, or clone, of an existing page within a project.
Cloning is recommended in two situations:
1. A project includes an existing page whose content or format is similar to the new page.
2. Authors would like to maintain a collection of page templates, using a template each time they need to.
How to Clone a Page
Step 1: Add page: Navigate to the module and click Add Page.
Step 2: Select the option to clone: Select the option Clone Existing Page.
Step 3: Select the page to clone: Select the Page from the drop-down menu and click Save.
Step 4: Cloned page (copy): The cloned page will appear with (copy) at the end of the page name.
Update Page Name
Change the name of the cloned page by clicking the more options icon next to the page name and then clicking the Edit Button.
The cloned page is a copy of the existing page. Changes made to the parent page after cloning do not impact the copy, and changes made to the copy do not impact the parent page.
