To copy specific elements or a template from a cloneable template into a blank page in Webflow and ensure everything is properly copied over, follow these steps:

  1. Find a cloneable template that includes the elements or template you want to copy. You can browse the Webflow template marketplace or search for cloneable templates in the Webflow Showcase.

  2. Once you've found a suitable template, click on the "Clone" button to make a copy of the template in your own Webflow account.

  3. After cloning the template, you'll be taken to the Webflow Designer where you can edit and customize the elements. Now, you can select and copy the specific elements or template you want to copy over to your blank page.

  4. Open a new tab or window in your browser and navigate to create a new blank page in Webflow. Name the page appropriately to easily identify it later.

  5. Return to the original template tab or window and select the elements or template you want to copy. You can either click and drag to select multiple elements or use the keyboard shortcuts (Shift + Click or Cmd/Ctrl + Click) to select non-consecutive elements.

  6. Once the elements are selected, use the "Edit" menu option in Webflow Designer and choose "Copy" or use the keyboard shortcuts (Cmd/Ctrl + C) to copy the selected elements.

  7. Switch to the new blank page tab or window and position the cursor where you want to paste the copied elements.

  8. Again, use the "Edit" menu option in Webflow Designer and choose "Paste" or use the keyboard shortcuts (Cmd/Ctrl + V) to paste the copied elements onto the blank page.

  9. After pasting, you may need to rearrange and adjust the copied elements to fit your new page's layout and structure. Use the Webflow Designer's tools and features to align and style the elements as needed.

  10. Double-check and test that all the functionality and interactions of the copied elements are working as intended. Make any necessary adjustments or modifications to ensure everything is properly copied over.

By following these steps, you can successfully copy specific elements or a template from a cloneable template into a blank page in Webflow, ensuring that everything is properly copied over and ready for customization.
