Squarespace Tutorial
Written By Walid Hasan

Squarespace 7.1 offers flexible drag-and-drop page building using sections and modular blocks that make up your site's content. But what if you've designed the perfect section on one page and want to reuse it on another page without rebuilding it from scratch?

Good news: there are three reliable ways to copy a section in Squarespace 7.1, even though there isn’t a native “duplicate to another page” button.

This guide will show you exactly how to do it using the Duplicate + Copy/Paste methods and provide tips to streamline your workflow.

Replicate the whole Page and delete the Sections you don’t wish to use

If you are creating a new page and you want to reuse a large portion of the layout from another page, this is the best option.

Step-by-Step:

  • Go to the Pages panel.

  • Hover over the page on which you wish to duplicate the section.

  • Tap on the ••• (More) icon > select Duplicate.

  • Change the name of the new page and click “open.”

  • Remove all sections except the one(s) you want to retain.

  • Add new content or rearrange sections as needed.

Great for Reusing segments of the page or the whole page as a template.

Use Squarespace's "Copy Section" and "Paste Section"

Squarespace now allows copying and pasting individual sections between pages, thanks to updates in the Site Editor.

How to copy & paste a section :

  1. Navigate to the page that includes the section you want to reuse.

  2. Hover over the section > Click Edit.

  3. Click the ••• (More) icon in the top-left of the section.

  4. Select Copy Section.

  5. Click on the new page where you want the section you copied to appear.

  6. Press the + Add Section button.

  7. Click on the light blue Paste Section button at the bottom of the list of sections.

Done! The section you have copied will look exactly as it appeared on the page from which you copied it, including all text and formatting.

Note: The paste option may not appear for some older browsers or an old Squarespace template. Check that you’re on Squarespace 7.1 and using a supported browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari).

Code Blocks or HTML (For Advanced Users)

If your section contains code blocks, wrap that in gist tags: CodeBlocks / Custom CSS / HTML???

  • You can "manually" copy the code from one section's Code Block.

  • Then tap and paste it into a section of another page

Example:

  1. Click the Edit button on the block containing the code.

  2. Copy all content from the Code Block.

  3. New & add a Code Block to your destination page.

  4. Paste the code and save.

Tip: If you have custom styles, ensure the necessary CSS classes exist on the new page or in the site-wide CSS.
