Originally created by @skluthe on GitHub (Apr 19, 2018).

Desired Feature: Allow us to copy a page/chapter to another location. You could put it in the drop down menu under more and it could really improve some peoples workflow. For example I have a template chapter for clients and when I get a new client I have to manually copy and paste each page in the chapter and fill it out. Would be so much easier if we could just clone/copy it.

Hi @skluthe, Thanks for your suggestion. The ability to clone pages has already been implemented in the master branch, so will be in the next release. Copying chapters is not part of that implementation.

Is it okay If I update the title of this to be specifically about chapters?

also chiming in as this would be an extremely usable feature... copying a chapter (which would be a template)

This was added within v21.12 so I'll therefore close this off.
