Can I duplicate elements and their children in Webflow for easy replication of similar content?

Yes, you can duplicate elements and all their child elements in Webflow to efficiently replicate similar content structures.

1. Use the Duplicate Shortcut or Right-Click

• Select the parent element you want to copy (e.g., a Container, Div, Section).
• Right-click and choose Duplicate, or use the shortcut Cmd+D (Mac) / Ctrl+D (Windows).
• This creates an exact copy of the parent and all nested children immediately below the original.

2. Duplicate Collection Items

• When using Collection Lists, you can't duplicate items manually, as they are automatically generated based on CMS content.
• To replicate a Collection item, add another CMS entry in the Collection. Webflow will automatically display it if the Collection List allows it.

3. Use Symbols for Repeated Layouts

• If you're duplicating sections that stay structurally identical across pages, consider turning the element into a Symbol (now called Components in newer versions).
• Select the element and click Create Component in the right panel or from the right-click menu.
• You can reuse the component anywhere and even define Overrides for customizable content.

4. Copy-Paste Across Pages or Projects

• You can copy any element (and its children) from one page or project and paste it into another Webflow page/project.
• Use Cmd+C / Cmd+V (Mac) or Ctrl+C / Ctrl+V (Windows) for quick duplication across locations.

Summary

To duplicate elements and their children in Webflow, use the Duplicate option or shortcut, create Components for reusable structures, and copy-paste for replication across pages or projects. This ensures fast and consistent layout creation.
