Go to the link for the current page and click it.

Now you will get the pages UI, and here you can create or delete pages. You can now duplicate a page.

I'm not sure how all the styles and layouts copy, because I set a specific layout for a custom component on a page, and then when I copied the page the layout was slightly different. But it could have been how I saved the layout changes. I will keep experimenting.

 

Sharing Pages

Since it's kind of related, I thought I'd share how you can share pages among your colleagues.

Put everything on your page inside a container – I haven't found a super easy way to do this, since I have to drag each existing component into the new container one at a time, and remember to do it from bottom to top. 👉 If you know of an easier way, let me know.

Select the container, and copy it with Control-C (Windows) or Command-C (Mac). You now have on the clipboard a text representation of the page that you can share with others. Here's a part of it.

Then go to the UI canvas where you want to copy it, and paste it with Control-V (Windows) or Command-V (Mac).

This used to be the way for individuals within a project to copy a page. You can still use this to copy specific containers or to share components.
