How to Copy/Paste Components in Relume Sitemap Effectively

Is there not a way to copy/paste components from the Relume sitemap. I don't mean anything outside of Relume. I'm making multiple pages and the AI didn't add something I want and I have what I want on another page in the Sitemap.. I see that I can copy and paste into different pages on the Sitemap but it doesn't seem to work when I try it with Ctrl-C while having a section highlighted in the sitemap.

Alex Q. would you mind recording any kind of screen record - no audio is fine
Alex Q.
·
I am not sure how I'm even supposed to do it.
Matt J.

As far as I can tell all copy/paste actions appear to work as expected - I can even copy a section from SITEMAP and paste it into a page in WIREFRAME.
Alex Q.

How do you copy a section and how do you paste it?
Matt J.
·
Hmm https://www.loom.com/share/b59080f123694cba8d492fb111d3eefa?sid=573e0914-7b1d-4816-bf03-7c2bb4cbbfe3

though I did notice that my browser asked for permissions, so maybe you had accidentally declined that?
Matt J.

Alex Q.
·
How did you get that menu to pop up?
Alex Q.
·
Did you right click or left click? When I right click on there all I get is default browser right click menu
Matt J.
·
right click
Matt J.
·
okay, what browser?
Alex Q.
·
so now it does do the right click menu. It happens only the first time you click on it
Alex Q.
·
I can copy it and it says it's copied but it won't paste
Alex Q.
·
I turned on the clipboard for relume.io
Matt J.
·
and did you refresh?
Matt J.
·
what browser?
Alex Q.
·
The browser is Vivaldi it's Chrome based.
Matt J.
·
did you refresh after turning on the clipboard?
Alex Q.
·
Yeah
Matt J.
·
its possible the browser is being overly zealous about showing its menu over ours
Alex Q.
·
The menu is showing fine
Alex Q.
·
when I paste it isn't pasting.
Matt J.
·
can you figure out a way to record your screen - flying pretty much blind here on whats going on and won't be able to help much more without it

I think it's because when you click on anything inside the section it starts editing that part (title or description) and then while that field is a textfield the regular menu pops up
Matt J.
·
just select the page and paste, then move it where you want it?
Alex Q.
·
Matt J.
·
and cmd + v doesn't work?
Matt J.
·
not ctrl + v - but cmd + v
Alex Q.
·
I'm using the menu items
Matt J.
·
yeah
Alex Q.
·
When I select the page and do cmd-V it works
Alex Q.
·
so I guess I can do that.
Matt J.
·
okay, so if you select a section and then do cmd + c and then do cmd + v - does that work?
Matt J.
·
without having to select anything else
Alex Q.
·
Yeah that works as well
Matt J.
·
alright
Alex Q.
·
It was probably something I was missing like selecting the page.
Matt J.
·
I do see at least one bug which is that I can ctrl + c and then when I do ctrl + v nothing pastes.
Matt J.
·
so maybe its preventing those other paste patterns you were hitting
Matt J.
·
probably a low priority bug too so I'm glad we were at least able to find something that works
Alex Q.
·
It is possible to hold a key and drag to paste?
Alex Q.
·
I noticed you can drag them around.
Matt J.
·
yeah, hold option
Alex Q.
·
oh option. I was holding cmd.
Alex Q.
·
Cool. Thanks man
Matt J.
·
yeah thanks for bearing with my 1000 questions
Alex Q.

Hey I noticed the blog sections are purple. the other ones are green. When I import them into WebFlow are they already ready to be connected to a CMS collection?
Matt J.
·
hmm well the only way that other sections would be green is if you designated them to be green or if they are global sections
Matt J.
·
but no, we dont have any "automatic CMS" syncing at the moment. However we have structured the components so that hooking them up to the CMS is...dare I say...fun?
Alex Q.
·
Ah of course.. that makes sense.. It was the global sections that are green
Matt J.
·
I'd like to think so anyway
Alex Q.
·
I got thrown off coz Webflow uses purple to identify CMS collection stuff
Matt J.
·
yeah for sure
Alex Q.
·
I made Blog and Post pages to import into Webflow but they are going to use CMS Collections. But when you create a CMS collection it already has a URL 'page' .. So I just made it a different name and I was gonna copy and paste the entire page into the collection page. Is there a better way of doing it? Can you import a Relume page into a collection automatically?
Matt J.
·
nope, thats the only way to do it right now
Alex Q.
·
Well that's cool. Just checking to make sure I had it right.
Alex Q.
·
Thanks for the help Matt
Matt J.
·
yeah all good - happy building Alex! 🚀
