Duplicate pages via API

Developer Support
1

I want to add an ability for non technical users to Duplicate Pages. My idea is to trigger this API from another interface (Airtable). Users will have to specify a parent page for duplication.

Why: current issue is that when duplicating a page from Plasmic UI, users might get confused with pages, and proceed the edit with original (non duplicated) page.

Is there an API for Page Duplication feature? Thank you

Hi @pmm_gismart, when a page is duplicated, they should be automatically navigated to the new page. Isn’t that sufficient?

Or are you trying to make a page template that can’t be edited?

Hi @jason! Thanks for reply.
I think the UI is a little confusing. Example:

  1. I duplicated a page Behaviour_changes_1
  2. It created a page Behaviour_changes_2
  3. But if I open this menu, I am confused, because Behaviour_changes_1 is highlighted in blue under Recent section.
    I suggest, in this menu, to highlight the opened page - Behaviour_changes_2. Maybe this UI tweak will do the job.
    Thanks

I see, the blue highlight looks like it’s the current page, but it’s actually the current selection which tells you what you will open if you hit enter. The gray highlight is the current page. We’ll keep this in mind for future design improvements.
