How to Copy or Duplicate a Blog Post in PhotoBiz

Overview

PhotoBiz makes it easy to copy an existing blog post so you can reuse its content or layout without starting from scratch. Whether you want to duplicate an entire post or create a reusable layout for future articles, the Copy Post feature gives you two options.

You can create an exact duplicate that includes the original text, images, and other content, or copy only the blocks and layouts to create a blank version of your existing post.

This guide explains how to copy a blog post, choose what to include, and customize your new draft before publishing it.

STEP ONE

Open Your Blog Posts

Click POSTS at the top of your Blog Dashboard to view your existing blog posts.

You can use the search field or status filter to find the post you want to copy.

STEP TWO

Select the Blog Post to Copy

Find the blog post you want to duplicate in your POSTS list.

Click the copy button on the far right of that post.

The COPY POST panel will open on the right side of your dashboard. From here, you can name your new post and choose whether to include the original content.

STEP THREE

Enter Your New Blog Post Title

In the COPY POST panel, locate the POST TITLE field.

PhotoBiz automatically fills this field with the original blog post title followed by "(copy)".

You can keep the suggested title or enter a new title for your copied blog post.

For example, if your original post is titled "Simple Tips for Better Photos," the suggested title will be "Simple Tips for Better Photos (copy)".

STEP FOUR

Choose Whether to Include Content

Under INCLUDE CONTENT, select Yes or No to determine what PhotoBiz copies into your new blog post.

Option 1: Yes — Duplicate the Entire Blog Post

Select Yes to create an exact duplicate of your existing blog post, including its content and layout.

This copies:

Text and headings
Images and image arrangements
Existing content blocks
Block order and layouts
Other content within the original blog post

Best for: Creating a new version of an existing article, updating seasonal content, or reusing a blog post that already contains much of the information you need.

For example, if you publish a holiday mini-session announcement every year, you can duplicate last year's post and update the dates, pricing, images, and other details.

Option 2: No — Copy the Layout Without Content

Select No to create a blank copy of your blog post that keeps the same blocks, block order, and layouts without copying the original content.

Your new post will contain the same structure, but its content blocks will be empty and ready for new information.

Best for: Reusing a consistent blog layout without having to rebuild the structure each time.

For example, if your blog posts typically include a title, introduction, image gallery, additional text, and a second gallery, you can copy that layout and fill each block with new content.

This is especially helpful when you want your blog posts to follow a consistent visual format.

Helpful Tip: The PhotoBiz AI Blog Post Creator is the recommended way to generate the initial draft of a new blog post. The Copy Post feature is a convenient alternative when you want to reuse an existing article or its layout instead of generating a new draft.

STEP FIVE

Create Your Copy

After entering your title and selecting your preferred INCLUDE CONTENT option, click create copy.

PhotoBiz creates your new blog post as a draft and opens it in the Blog Post Editor.

The content displayed in the editor depends on the option you selected:

Yes: Your new draft contains the original blog post's text, images, blocks, and layouts.
No: Your new draft contains the same blocks and layouts, but the content areas are empty.

You can now customize your copied post without changing the original blog post.

FINAL STEP

Customize and Publish Your New Blog Post

Review your copied blog post in the Blog Post Editor.

If you copied the original content, update any text, images, dates, or other information that should be different in the new version.

If you copied only the layout, click each empty content block to add your new text, images, and other content.

You can also add, remove, or rearrange blocks to customize your post further.

When your new blog post is ready, click publish in the upper-right corner of the editor.

Your copied blog post is now published as a separate article on your PhotoBiz website.

What Your Website Visitors See

Copying a blog post does not change the original article on your website.

Your new post is created as a separate draft, allowing you to make changes before visitors can see it.

Once published, your new post displays the content and layout you configured in the Blog Post Editor.

If you selected Yes, visitors will see the duplicated content with any changes you made before publishing.

If you selected No, visitors will see the new content you added to the copied layout.

Helpful Notes

Your original post stays unchanged. Copying a blog post creates a separate article rather than modifying the original.
Copied posts begin as drafts. You can review and customize the new post before publishing it.
You can change the copied layout. Adding, removing, or rearranging blocks in your new draft does not change the original post.
You can reuse layouts multiple times. If you have a preferred blog post structure, you can copy it whenever you need to create another article.
Review your content before publishing. When duplicating an existing post, check for outdated information, references to previous events, or images that need replacing.
