How to Duplicate a Page in Squarespace 7.1
The quickest way to duplicate an entire page is through the Pages panel.
Step 1: Open the Pages Menu
From your Squarespace dashboard:
Navigate to Pages
Locate the page you want to copy
Hover over the page title
Step 2: Open Page Settings
Click the gear icon beside the page.
This opens the page settings panel.
Step 3: Duplicate the Page
Inside the General tab:
Scroll down
Click Duplicate Page
Confirm the duplication
Squarespace will create an exact copy of the page.
Where Does the Duplicated Page Go?
The duplicated page will appear inside the Not Linked section.
This means:
The page exists on your site
It can be published
It won't automatically appear in your navigation menu
This allows you to safely edit the new page before making it visible to visitors.
Important: Update the URL Slug
One mistake many users make is forgetting to change the URL slug after duplication.
For example:
about → about-1
services → services-1
home → home-1
While Squarespace automatically creates a unique URL, these aren't ideal for usability or search visibility.
To change the URL slug:
Open the duplicated page settings
Select General
Edit the URL slug field
Save changes
Use a clear URL that accurately reflects the page content.
For example:
/web-design-services
/branding-services
/case-study-example
How to Duplicate a Section in Squarespace
Squarespace 7.1's Fluid Engine editor makes it easy to duplicate entire sections.
A section contains everything within a specific area of the page, including:
Text
Images
Videos
Backgrounds
Buttons
Layout settings
To duplicate a section:
Enter Edit Mode
Hover over the section
Locate the duplicate icon (two overlapping squares)
Click Duplicate
The section will instantly be copied beneath the original.
The Better Alternative: Using Saved Sections
While duplication is useful, there is an even more powerful workflow tool in Squarespace 7.1.
Saved Sections.
Many experienced Squarespace designers use Saved Sections far more frequently than simple duplication.
What Are Saved Sections?
Saved Sections allow you to store a section and reuse it across multiple pages.
Instead of duplicating a section from an existing page, you can:
Save it once
Access it whenever needed
Insert it anywhere on your website
Think of it as creating your own personal section library.
How to Save a Section
Inside the page editor:
Hover over the section
Click the heart icon
Select Save Section
Choose whether to save it:
To the current site
To your entire Squarespace account
Most designers save sections to the current site, but account-wide saving can be useful if you manage multiple websites.
How to Add a Saved Section
On any page:
Click Add Section
Select Saved Sections
Choose the section you want
Insert it
The section appears instantly.
Saved Sections and Squarespace Wireframing
For Squarespace designers, Saved Sections become even more valuable during Squarespace wireframing.
Instead of starting every project from a blank canvas, you can build a reusable library of:
Hero sections
Service layouts
Testimonial blocks
Team sections
Contact areas
Pricing tables
CTA sections
You can then assemble complete page wireframes in minutes.
This modular approach is becoming the preferred workflow for many professional Squarespace designers because it reduces repetitive work and allows more focus on strategy, content and user experience.
