Copying a page but not its subpages

  • March 8, 2017

Hi, in AEM, when I do a copy and paste for a page with subpages, it seems all the subpages are also included. Is there any way to make a copy without including the subpages? I have to go into the duplicated page and manually remove the subpages after. The subpages only continue to grow as time goes by, so this isn't a good long term approach.

Thanks!

    Hi,

    We can copy the single page from right side panel of siteadmin. while copy and paste, it will ask you for check box COPY CHILDREN.

    once you will uncheck it. it will not copy the subpages or children.

    However in touch UI, I am not able to do this. you can make use of siteadmin.

    Are you copying and pasting in site admin?

      You have valid requirement but there is no such feature available in AEM siteadmin.

      You could create a new page and in order to copy the existing content to the new page. Use crxde to copy SOURCE jcr:content content to Destination page jcr:content. This is just a workaround. if you are doing exercise more often then would prefer to develop a simple utility.

      Agreeing with Prince. You can do it by using classic UI (there is a checkbox Copy children, uncheck it), where as in Touch UI there is not such option.

        Oo, that is handy. I have AEM 6.0 though, and when I click copy, that option doesn't pop up for me :( Are you using a different version of AEM?

        Hey,

        I tried it in AEM 6.2 and I am not sure but I think this is also available in AEM 6.1.

        Thanks, Prince. I guess we'll get the feature after we upgrade then!
