Import elements from existing Maglr projects

You can import a whole scene, or selected elements and groups, from a page in any of your Maglr projects into the page you're editing. The source can be another project or another page of the same project. Everything you import is an independent copy.


Importing an entire scene


To copy a whole scene, with both its desktop and mobile layout, into the page you're editing:


  1. In the editor, click the M menu in the top-left corner.
  2. Click Import scene / element. The "Import Scene or Elements" popup opens.

  1. Under "What would you like to import?", select Import entire scene (desktop + mobile).
  2. Under "Choose source page", select the Project. The current project is selected by default.
  3. Select the Page.
  4. Select the Scene. The first scene of the page is selected by default.
  5. Click Import scene.


The imported scene is added at the end of the current page's scene list. The editor stays on the scene you were working on.


Importing elements


To copy selected elements and groups into the scene you're editing:


  1. In the editor, click the M menu in the top-left corner.
  2. Click Import scene / element. The "Import Scene or Elements" popup opens.
  3. Under "What would you like to import?", select Import elements to active layout.
  4. Under "Choose source page", select the Project. The current project is selected by default.
  5. Select the Page.
  6. Select the Scene that contains the elements. The first scene of the page is selected by default.
  7. Under "Import on position", select one of the options:
    • Copy precise X,Y position: places the elements in the same position as on the source page.
    • Import inside current viewport: places the elements in the part of the canvas you're currently looking at.
  9. In the list on the right, select the elements and groups you want to import. Click Select all to select everything, or Unfold all to show the elements inside groups.
  10. Click Import selected elements.

The elements are added only to the layout you're editing, desktop or mobile. To bring over both layouts, import the entire scene instead.


Frequently asked questions


Can I import from another page in the same project?


Yes. In the import popup, the Project picker starts on the project you're working in, so you can select any other page of that project as the source.


Are imported scenes and elements linked to the original?


No. An imported scene or element is an independent copy. Changes you make to the original later don't change the copy, and changes to the copy don't change the original.


Why are imported elements only added to desktop or mobile?


When you import elements, they are added only to the layout you're editing (desktop or mobile). To bring over both the desktop and the mobile layout, import the entire scene instead.


Can I copy elements between pages with keyboard shortcuts?


Yes. Select the elements or groups and press Cmd/Ctrl + C, then open the other page and press Cmd/Ctrl + V. This works when you copy and paste in the same browser.
