Switching Your Site Template

In the Wix Editor, you can copy specific elements from your old site and paste them on to your new site. You can also copy and paste entire pages to make the process of starting on a new a template a breeze! Learn how to copy and paste elements and pages to a new site.

You can also right-click on any element or section and save it to My Designs. They will be saved in a design library that you can use on any Editor site in your account. 

In Studio Editor, you can save and re-use design assets in a library that you can use on any of your Studio Editor sites. This saves you time as you don't need to create elements, groups of elements, or sections from scratch.

Note: While you can't copy entire pages from the Studio Editor, you can save entire sections as design assets that you can use on your new site.
