# Copying Block Content Between Blocks


Copy the content and styles from one block and paste them into another instance of the same block.

## Copying Block Content

In the Email Builder preview, right-click a block to open its context menu, then select **Copy Content**. This copies the block's content and any editable styles to your clipboard.

## Pasting Block Content

Right-click another instance of the **same block** and select **Paste** to apply the copied content and styles. **Paste** only appears when you've copied content from that same block type — you can't paste a "Hero Banner" block's content into a "Header" block.

## What Gets Copied

Copying a block carries over:
- Its editable content
- Any editable styles applied to it

## Copying Multiple Blocks

Your clipboard can hold copied content for several different blocks at once, but only one copy per block at a time.

For example, if you copy content from a **Header** block, then copy content from a **Paragraph** block, your clipboard now holds both — you can paste either into a matching block. But if you copy from a different instance of the **Header** block, it replaces the **Header** content already in your clipboard.
