Cut or copy an item to a new section in Store Editor

Sometimes items in your store can belong in more than one section, so we'll show you how to copy an item from one section to another. You can easily move items from one section to another as well.

Article ID: SLN18774

Note: A copy of an item is a reference to the original item. Changes made to one will affect both. If you would like to make an item that is similar but only slightly different, it would have to be created as a separate item.

The Contents field of section pages determine which items appear and in which order they appear on the section page. Merchants can cut/copy and paste items manually or by using the Editor toolbar options.
