Copy and Paste to different pages

Unfortunately, there is no way to copy and paste components between different pages in AEM. If you want to copy a component from one page to another, you will need to manually create the component on the new page and manually copy over the design and content.

Things to copy: 1. Any text and image content. 1. CSS classes and styles for the component and its column control (if applicable). 1. Any other settings for the component (e.g. number of columns, pagination, captions, etc.).

Custom Components & Source Edit

If you're having troubles copying a specific design, select the source edit button (the far right button in the text editor) and copy the raw HTML code over to the new component. Paste it in the new component's source edit mode as well. This will ensure the design is copied over exactly.
