1. Locate and Select the Section on the Original Page

div block) to select the entire section.
2. Copy the Section

- Alternatively, right-click on the section and select Copy.
3. Open the Destination Page

4. Paste the Section
- Click on the parent element (such as
Bodyor a specific section wrapper) where you want to insert the copied section. - Press Cmd+V (Mac) or Ctrl+V (Windows) to paste it.
- The section will retain all classes, styles, layout, and elements from the original.
5. Use Symbols for Reusability (Optional)
- If you plan to reuse this section across multiple pages or projects, consider converting it into a Symbol:
- Select the section.
- Right-click and choose Create Symbol.
- Name the Symbol and save it.
- Symbols allow you to update the content or design once and apply the change everywhere it's used.
