Delete & Copy Elements

Deleting elements can be useful for when you have decided that a piece of content doesn't fit in your publication. You can simply delete it and decide for yourself what you're going to do with the remaining empty space.

Copying elements can be useful in order to keep a good workflow/speed and to allow yourself to create multiple elements without having to change all the settings for that element. You can simply copy an element and only change a few settings to perfectly fit that new copied element in no-time.

To delete or copy an element, simply select an element in your publication you would like to copy or delete. A blue icon with a white cube inside of it will appear on the left side of the selected element.

Mouse over this icon and a black bar with various different options will appear. On this bar you will see a Duplicate and Delete Icon. Clicking the duplicate icon will then create a copy of that element and place it above or below the original element. Clicking the delete icon will remove the element from the publication.
