How to copy/paste blocks or elements?

Hi,
This might be a beginner question.
I am looking how to copy/paste elements liked button, blocks, links with all the right format from a page to another?
I am using a premium site that looks good and it is logic that I want to replicate the style on other pages, but i don't find how. I find the copy fonction for blocks, but i can find how to paste it on another pages...
this is driving me nuts :)
What i am missing?
Thanks!
Hi,
On Gutenberg editor, you can group the blocks to one container and save that container as a reusable block which you can use on other posts/pages.
Alternatively, if you're working on 2 or more pages simultaneously opened on different tabs on your browser, you can copy the selected block on clipboard and CTRL + V (paste) it on the other page/post you're editing on the other tab.
Here's an example: https://share.getcloudapp.com/RBuWQ7JL
Thanks for your answer, but it doesn't solve my problem
I don't want to copy blocks, but elements inside blocks
like on the preview : https://generatepress.com/site-library/
i would like to replicate easily the "HOW WE CAN HELP" format with the arrow or the Contact form button in the home page.
How to do that?
thanks
Hi there,
I am not sure i fully understand.
If you want to copy a single block eg. a Headline, then simply select that block, CTR-C ( to copy ) then go to your other page and CTRL+V to paste.
Hi,
Ok i saw my mistake, to copy paste you need to first create a Paragraph block, i was trying to do it straight away...
Thanks for you patience...
