If you create content that you need to be displayed on multiple pages, you can use the clone feature to duplicate content in multiple areas of your site. The two most common types of cloned content are site navigation modules and articles. See below for the steps involved in cloning those content items.
When an item is cloned on multiple pages, any updates to the cloned content will be displayed on all cloned instances. Cloning any content item is not the same as creating an independent copy of the content in another area.
