Basic information
Cloning is useful if you want to edit a page or segment without impacting the published version. Cloning is available for the following pages / segments:
- Section pages (including your homepage)
- Infopages
- Landings
- Regions
- You Might Also Like (YMAL)
Cloning works basically as follows:
- You might clone the published version of a page / segment.
- The new clone exactly matches the published version.
- You can freely edit the clone without impacting the published version.
- When you are ready, publish the clone.
Review current versions
To review the current versions of a page / segment:
- Go to Build in the primary navigation.
- Choose the type of page / segment you want to manage.
- Select the specific page / segment you want to manage.
- Under Versions, review the current versions.
In the drop-down menu, select the version you want to manage. The active version is marked with the Active badge. If the page / segment has the Published status, the active version is the version that is accessible on the public site.
Create a new version (clone)
To create a new version (clone) of a page / segment:
- Under Versions, select the version you want to clone.
- Hit the Clone selected version button.
- Under Title, provide a title to identify the version in Pangea CMS. This title is not displayed on the public site. Hit Clone to confirm.
The builder for the clone opens with the Editor view selected by default.
Edit widgets
When you edit the widgets on a clone:
- Widgets that have not yet been modified on the clone are treated as cloned. Cloned widgets inherit all updates from the original version of the widget.
- Widgets that have been modified on the clone are treated as independent. Independent widgets do not inherit updates from the original version of the widget.
Hit the Edit button to start editing a widget. After you save your changes, the widget will become independent and will no longer inherit updates from the original widget.
Change active version
Under Versions, the active version is marked with the Active badge. If the page / segment has the Published status, the active version is the version that is accessible on the public site.
To change the active version:
- Under Versions, select the version you want to make active.
- Hit the Make selected version active button.
The selected version is now active.
Change version title
Each version has a title that is visible only in Pangea CMS. To change a version title:
- Under Versions, select the version you want to rename.
- Hit the Edit selected version button.
- Enter the new title in the Title box. Then, hit Save.
The new title is now applied in Pangea CMS.
Delete version
To delete an existing version:
- Under Versions, select the version you want to delete.
- Hit the Delete selected version button.
The selected version is now deleted and cannot be restored.
Increase maximum number of versions
By default, Pangea CMS permits a maximum of two versions for each page / segment. Contact Pangea Customer Care to increase the maximum number of versions for your site.
