# Duplicating Pages

> Learn how to duplicate a shared page into your own EcomWize account and what gets copied.

When a page owner enables duplication on a shared page, viewers can create their own copy with a single click. This is the fastest way to start from an existing design.

## When Duplication Is Available

Duplication is only available when the page owner has explicitly enabled the **Enable others to duplicate this project** toggle in the Share modal. When enabled:

* A **Use template** button appears in the top-right corner of the shared page header.
* The button is styled prominently so viewers can easily find it.

<Note>
  If duplication is not enabled, the "Use template" button does not appear and there is no way for viewers to copy the page.
</Note>

## How to Duplicate a Page

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the shared page">
    Visit the shared page URL in your browser. The page renders in full preview mode.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Click Use template">
    Click the **Use template** button in the top-right corner of the header. If you are not logged in, you will be redirected to the signup or login page first.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Wait for the copy to be created">
    The button shows a loading spinner with "Duplicating..." text while the copy is being created. This usually takes just a few seconds.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Start editing your copy">
    Once the duplication is complete, you are automatically redirected to the builder with your new page loaded and ready to edit.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## What Gets Copied

When you duplicate a shared page, the following elements are preserved in your copy:

| Element          | Copied? | Notes                                                        |
| ---------------- | ------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
| All sections     | Yes     | Every section and its full configuration are duplicated      |
| Brand style      | Yes     | A private copy of the brand style is created in your account |
| Page title       | Yes     | Modified to "\{Original Title} (Copy)"                       |
| Meta description | Yes     | Copied as-is                                                 |
| Template type    | Yes     | Page or product type is preserved                            |
| URL handle/slug  | Yes     | Modified with a unique suffix to avoid conflicts             |

## What Gets Reset

Certain elements are intentionally **not** copied to ensure a clean starting point:

| Element          | Value After Duplication                       |
| ---------------- | --------------------------------------------- |
| Store connection | Not copied -- you must connect your own store |
| Product link     | Not copied -- you must link your own product  |
| Page status      | Set to **draft** (not published)              |
| Sharing settings | Sharing is disabled by default                |

<Warning>
  Shopify store connections and product links are never copied during duplication. You will need to connect your own Shopify store and link your own products after duplicating a page.
</Warning>

## Brand Style Duplication

The brand style is not simply linked -- a complete, independent copy is created in your account. This means:

* The copy is named "\{Original Brand Style Name} (Copy)"
* You can modify the copied brand style without affecting the original
* All design properties (fonts, colors, spacing, etc.) are duplicated

## Plan Limits

Duplication respects your account's plan limits:

* If you have reached your page limit, you will see an error toast with an option to upgrade your plan.
* If you are on the Free plan, you can duplicate pages but cannot publish them to Shopify.

<Tip>
  Duplication is a great way to learn from other designers. Duplicate a page you admire, then explore the section configurations and brand style to understand how it was built.
</Tip>

## Authentication Requirements

You must be logged in to duplicate a page. If you are not authenticated when you click "Use template":

1. You are redirected to the signup page with a return URL.
2. After creating your account (or logging in), you are returned to the shared page.
3. The duplication process starts automatically.
