I’m rebuilding my therapy practice website in elements. It needed a refresh.

I duplicated the first bio page to make the other team member’s bio pages. When I make a change to a duplicated page, it makes the change to the original. For example, if I change the text of the bio to the duplicate page, it makes the same change on the original.

Is there a setting that links duplicated pages that can be turned off? I’m at a loss.

Have you set it up as a global? If so it will change unless you unlink it!

Sorry meant to come back and close the thread. I saw a video about global shortly after I posted. They definitely copied as globals. Once I turned that off, all was right with my world.
