Instead of drag and copy you can copy and paste content from one place to another with Editing Tools. You just have to Copy the object and depending on your needs select one of the following options:

 

  • Paste To – Paste the copied object to the selected object
  • Paste Before – Paste the copied object before the selected one
  • Paste After – Paste the copied object after the selected one

 

 

  • Paste Without Sub Objects – If there are sub objects inside the copied one, paste only the main (parent) object to the selected one. There is a submenu with Paste To, Paste Before and Paste After options.
  • Paste Sub Objects Only - If there are sub objects inside the copied one, paste only the sub objects (without the parent) to the selected one. There is a submenu with Paste To, Paste Before and Paste After options.

 

 

 

The biggest advantage of Copy and Paste over Drag and Copy is that you can also copy the content from one page to another in both Front Edit and BackOffice.

 

Let’s say we have the following page structure and want to copy the Text paragraph object below the Image object.

 

 

Copy and Paste with Editing Tools in Front Edit Panel

  1. You have to highlight the object that you want to copy – in our case the Text object

 

 

  1. Right click on highlighted area or on Editing Tools panel click on the down arrow in the right and select Copy from the dropdown menu.

 

 

  1. Go over the Image object after which one we are going to paste the text and highlight it. Right click or select down arrow from Editing Tools and choose Paste After.

 

 

 

  1. And Voila! Your Text object is copied after the Image object.

 

 

Copy and Paste in BackOffice

 

Copying and Pasting Objects in BackOffice it’s almost the same like in Front Edit Panel. For some of the users working with Front Edit can be more fun, for others – the BackOffice.

Let’s see how you can Copy and Paste object in BackOffice:

 

  1. Right click over the object that you want to copy– in our case the Text object.
  2. Select Copy from the dropdown menu or from the bottom line with icons.

 

 

 

  1. Go and select the Image object after which one we are going to Paste the copied Text object.
  2. Right click and choose Paste After or from the bottom line with Icons select the Paste icon and from the popup menu choose Paste After.

 

 

or

 

 

 

  1. The copied Text object is pasted after the Image. That’s it. Pretty easy, isn't it ??

 

 

In some situations it will be not possible to copy an object to a specific place, because you can't paste objects to places where they do not belong, for example, pasting an image into a heading. If the object cannot be added or copied into another object there will be an alerting message on your top right corner.
