Copy and Paste

In Oxygen, you can copy & paste elements and designs across different pages or designs on the same site, or copy them from a source site and paste them on a destination site.

Copy & Paste Via The Right-Click Context Menu

  1. Find the element you’d like to copy (or paste into) in the Canvas or Structure panel.
  2. Right-click the element to open the context menu.
  3. Click copy or paste to complete the action.

Copy & Paste Via Keyboard Shortcuts

You can also copy and paste with keyboard shortcuts using Command/Control + C and Command/Control + V instead of the context menu.

Copy & Paste Entire Pages

  1. Open the Structure Panel.
  2. Click the … button and select the Copy All Elements option.
  3. On another page or site, open the Structure Panel.
  4. Click the … button and select the Paste Elements option.
The Structure panel's … menu open, showing Copy All Elements and Paste Elements

Cross-page & Cross-site Copy & Paste

Once an element is copied to your clipboard, you can paste it onto any other Oxygen page on your site or another site by entering the Oxygen editor and using the controls described above to paste the element.

Please note that cross-page and cross-site copy & paste will work best on Chromium-based and Firefox-based browsers. We do not recommend using Safari for cross-page and cross-site actions.

Copy & Paste Styles And Settings

Right-click almost anything in the properties panel to copy it between elements and
classes:

  • Right-click a style section title (Typography, Background…) to copy, paste, or
    clear just that section.
  • Right-click a tab to copy, paste, or clear that whole tab — for example, copy an
    element's Animations setup onto another element.
  • Right-click the class field to copy, paste, or clear the element's entire class
    list.

Selecting More Than One Element

Ctrl+click (Cmd+click on Mac) elements on the canvas to select several at once. The title
bar shows the count — "Text (2 selected)" — and the class field becomes read-only while
multiple elements are selected.

Copying An Element's Class List

Right-click the class field for Copy, Paste and Clear Selectors — the whole
list of classes on the element, moved to another element in one go.
