Prerequisites: See Page Builder Prerequisites for details.
You can copy an existing content unit's fields to create similar content units.

  • Creating identical content units with different built-in views.
  • Converting a field content unit to a component content unit.
To copy a field content unit:
  1. Navigate to Administration > Presentation Content Units.
    The Field Content Units tab of the Management screen displays.
  2. Select the field content unit to copy.
  3. Choose one of the following steps.
    • Select Copy in the Actions menu.
