This feature is useful if you wish to reuse existing content of your app.For instance:
– to create a second article in a different language, so you only need to translate the text in the copy of the article.
– to add a new event very similar to an existing event, so you only need to edit the few elements that require a modification.
– etc.
The duplication of content is available for:
Specific items:
– An article (from a Blog CMS section)
– An event (from a Calendar CMS section)
– A point (from a Map CMS section)
Specific sections with only 1 item:
– Section About
– Section Form

2. Open the item you would like to duplicate.
3. Click “Duplicate” at the bottom of the page next to the status button.
