How to Convert a Collection Page to Another Page Type

GemPages allows you to duplicate your existing pages, including the Collection Page, into a different page type without losing your design elements. You can follow the same steps below to convert any page type in GemPages to another. This feature is useful when you want to reuse layouts across different page types. 

Here’s how:

Option 1: Using the GemPages Dashboard

Step 1: Log in to your GemPages account and navigate to the Pages section.

Step 2: Find the Collection Page you wish to convert.

Step 3: Click on the three-dot menu (⋮) next to the page title and select Clone to other page type.

Step 4: Choose the desired page type (e.g., Product Page, Landing Page) from the dropdown menu.

Step 5: Enter a new title for the page if necessary and click Confirm. The duplicated page will now appear under the selected page type section.

Option 2: Using the GemPages Editor

Step 1: From the GemPages Dashboard, click on the Collection Page you want to convert to open it in the editor.

Step 2: In the editor’s top bar, click on the three-dot menu (⋮) and select Clone to other page type.

Step 3: In the dialog box, select the desired page type and enter the new page title.

Step 4: Click Confirm to proceed. The page will be duplicated and saved under the new page type.

Additional Tips

• Preserve Original Design: Cloning the page ensures that your original Collection Page remains unchanged, allowing you to experiment with different page types without affecting the existing layout.
• Assigning Templates: After creating a new page, you can assign it as the default for specific collections or products, or set it as the homepage, depending on the page type. 
• Utilize Theme Sections: For elements that appear across multiple pages (like headers, footers, or FAQs), consider using GemPages’ Theme Sections feature. This allows you to update a section once and have the changes reflected across all pages where it’s used.
