Often a HotDoodle web page may have a complex structure of blocks that is desired on multiple pages all with different content. For example, a travel agency might have a page of Brazil destinations and want the page of Alaska destinations to have the same layout. Instead of having to create each page and add each block individually, HotDoodle created a way to automate the task. The Copy Button Block can be added to the HotDoodle website to speed up the production of these pages. To use, create a template page by adding all the blocks in the layout desired, but omitting the content. The Copy Button Block will make a copy of that empty template page and place it in the website where specified. If the template page can also be assigned the permission of an example user.

Steps: How to Use the Copy Button Block
