Copy components from page to page

[ktmalueg]

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.
