To move or copy a set of elements in Weebly:
- On your Weebly page, hover over the element you want to move/copy until you see the blue control box around it.
- Click the arrow in the upper-left corner until you see the Move/Copy pop-up box.
- Click Move or Copy.
- Select the destination where you want to move or copy the selected element.
