Duplicate Section (with nested elements)
Stacey Peters
Hi Beacons team,
I’d love a “Duplicate section” feature in the Website Builder. Use case:
Quickly reuse a section layout (e.g., 3‑column image + text) across multiple pages
Keep styling consistent without manually rebuilding each block
Speed up iteration when testing variations of similar sections
Nice‑to‑haves:
Option to choose what’s copied (content, styling, or both)
Duplicate within the same page or to another page
Keyboard shortcut and a “Duplicate” action in the section toolbar (•••)
This would save me lots of time and help me maintain a cohesive design.
Thanks so much for considering it!

Hiya Stacey Peters, thanks for this post! I have a few more questions for you:
- What specific elements or features within a section are most important for you to duplicate?
- How frequently do you anticipate using the duplicate section feature in your workflow?
- Are there any specific types of content or styling that you would prefer not to be duplicated?

Thank you for getting back so quickly!
- The repetitive text sections
- I don't think so (right now anyways)
- And yes, a "duplicate section" button would be really helpful because I found I had to start from scratch multiple times to make the same style of section in multiple areas of my website.
I hope this makes my request more clear!

Great to hear your perspective, deanadavid! I have a few more questions for you:
- Can you provide more details on what specific content sections you frequently find yourself wanting to duplicate?
- Are there any specific features or elements within these sections that you would like to have control over when duplicating?
- Would you find it useful to have a 'duplicate section' option for all types of content sections or only for specific ones?
