Overview

You can copy a space as it exists at a point in time to another space. The copy options are configured in the space tools Copy Space dashboard.

The Copy space configuration copy options are retained for each copy but a new target space must set for each Copy Space action.

Copy Options

You can configure Copy Space to

  • copy selected document types (pages, blog posts or both)

  • ignore top-level pages (the home page and orphan pages)

  • delete existing pages in the target space

  • include labels or match labels on existing target space documents

The content to be copied for each document can also be configured in the Advanced Options.
