By Impran M N
Whether you're pasting plain text into a block or cloning a full page layout, Squarespace supports both, though the process isn't always obvious. This guide covers pasting text correctly, duplicating a page, and troubleshooting when copy-paste doesn't seem to work.
01Log in and enter edit mode
Sign in to Squarespace, select your site, and click Edit to enter Edit Mode where content changes are made.
02Add a text block and paste your content
Click Add Block, choose Text, then open the editor and paste using right-click Paste or the Ctrl+V / Command+V shortcut.
03Confirm and save
Click OK to confirm the pasted text, then click Save so the update appears on the live site.
04Duplicate a full page
Go to the Pages panel, click the gear icon next to the page you want to copy, and choose Duplicate Page to clone its structure.
05Copy individual sections between pages
Click the section you want to copy, use your browser's copy function or keyboard shortcut, then paste it into another section of your site.
Frequently asked questions
Why can't I paste text in Squarespace?
Make sure you're pasting inside a supported block like Text or Code, not in preview mode, and not pasting incompatible formatting from another app.
Is there a one-click way to duplicate a page?
Squarespace doesn't have a single-click copy option, but the Duplicate Page feature under the gear icon achieves the same result.
What should I do if copy-paste still isn't working?
Try refreshing your browser or switching to Chrome or Firefox for better compatibility.
Can I copy a section from one page and paste it into another?
Yes, click the section, copy it using your browser menu or keyboard shortcut, then paste it into the target page.
