Copy components from page to page

Reading through older posts it seems like you used to be able to copy and paste a component from one page to another in Sites. I can copy a component but if I go to a different page, it doesn't give me the paste option. It only lets me paste it within the same page. 

 

Is there a way I can copy a component from one page to another? 

 

Thanks!

Hi @ktmalueg,

Which version of AEM are you using? Also, could you please tell us are they same template or different than one you copied from?

hi @ktmalueg

Have you tried opening both pages in tabs within the same session? 

 

Check if the container you are trying to copy into permits the creation of the desired component. If it is restricted by a template policy, you won't be able to paste it. Also, verify that both pages support the component based on their allowed component configurations.

Hi @ktmalueg ,

you can copy components from one page to another in AEM, but it works only when the copy is done within the same editor session and browser tab. After copying a component, you must navigate to the target page in the same tab (using page explorer or direct URL) for the Paste option to appear. If paste is still not visible, it means the component is not allowed by the target page’s template policy or you don't have sufficient permissions. In short, cross-page copy works only in the same editing session and only when the destination container allows that component.
