Apply One Listing’s Design to Other Listings

Design a property site once, then hand the pieces you choose to the rest of your listings. Apply to other listings walks through three steps: what to copy, which listings take it, and a review where you decide whether the copies stay linked. Nothing changes until you press Apply on that review step, and every copy can be undone for seven days. Every piece is ticked individually, so the copy can be as broad as the whole design or as narrow as a single story section.

A typical run: build the Home page on your flagship listing, then apply it to five more. Each keeps its own photos, name, description and About, Location and Explore the Area text, and all six read as one family. Copied story sections (a Founder letter, a Highlights story) arrive with the flagship's words, so reword them on each listing afterwards, or keep them linked if they should read the same everywhere.

To copy just one setting (a brand color, the fonts, the header style, one hero option), use the small copy button next to that setting instead: it copies that value to the listings you pick, with no linking. See Copy One Setting From a Listing.

Where to find it

There are two doors to the same flow.

  • Layout tab → Advanced. Open Sites → Listing sites → Edit listing, go to the Layout tab, and at the foot of the page list click Advanced → Apply to other listings…. The whole design starts ticked.
  • Home → Sections. In the Sections panel, Apply to other listings… sits in the header once you have more than one listing. Opened from here, only the Home sections start ticked.

Step 1: What to copy

Four groups run down the left. Click a group to see what is inside it; the box beside its name ticks or clears the whole group, and the count shows how much of it is selected.

Home sections

The panel shows this listing’s Home page in order, top to bottom.

  • Story sections carry a tick box. Tick the ones to copy; each arrives with its content, photos, layout and button.
  • About, The Location and Explore the Area are tickable too, but they copy differently: each listing keeps its own words and photos and takes only the look.
  • Built-in sections (Photo gallery, Amenities, Guest stories and the rest) appear between them, dimmed, with a Hidden tag where this listing hides one. They always show each listing’s own content.
  • Section order & visibility is the switch above the list. On, the other listings take this page’s order, the same hidden built-in sections, the photo-break alignment and styling, and the header menu’s arrangement of those sections. Page slots in that arrangement stay positional: each listing’s own pages fill them. Off, their order is left alone and any copied sections join their existing ones.

A section that opens its own sub-page cannot travel and is shown greyed out with the reason. Lead forms arrive as separate copies, so every listing keeps its own inquiries.

Pages & tabs

  • Menu names & order. The switch at the top copies the header menu itself: each tab's name and icon, the order the tabs run in, which tabs sit in another tab's dropdown, and which custom pages are hidden from the menu. It reads out this listing's menu so you can see what the others will match. It applies to the tabs each listing has: the pages you copy below, pages it already has under the same name, and the built-in tabs (Local guide, Blog, FAQ, Experiences, Contact). A page you don't tick stays off the other listings, so it can't be in their menu. On from Layout → Advanced, off from the Sections panel.
  • Custom pages. Tick any page to copy it with its hero and sections. Pages start unticked. A listing that already has a page with the same name keeps its own, and the confirmation says so.
  • On its own tab, or inline on Home. Local guide, Blog, FAQ, Experiences and Contact each show where they sit on this listing. Tick one and the other listings match it: moved onto a tab, or folded back into the Home page.

Hero

Four pieces, each showing its current setting: Layout & text placement, Photo overlay, Medallion and Text style. Hero photos and videos, the headline wording and the hero badges are never copied.

Brand

Colors, Fonts, Logo & favicon, Header style, Intro reveal and Header button, with swatches and names beside them. The header button copies when it points somewhere that works on every listing (booking, home, a web address, email or phone). Contact details, social links and the footer stay where they are.

Step 2: Listings

Tick the listings that should receive the copy, or use Select all. Tags on a row explain anything unusual: Linked for a listing that already follows this one, Linked elsewhere for one that follows a different listing, Template for one that other listings follow, and Profile for a single-page profile, which takes everything except pages and tabs.

Step 3: Review

The left side lists what is being copied, group by group, and where it is going; Edit jumps back to that choice. On the right:

Independent copy (the default) is a one-time transfer. Afterwards each listing goes its own way.

Keep linked makes the other listings follow this one for the pieces you copied. Change the hero, reorder the Home page, add or remove a story section, rename or reorder a tab, or adjust the brand here, and they update shortly after. Linked story sections become one shared text: reword a Founder letter on any listing and it changes on all of them, so a listing that needs its own wording must unlink first (the Edit only this page button in the section editor does exactly that). A linked listing can still take sections of its own, and they hold their place when the template changes.

Story sections already on those listings appears when you are copying story sections. Replace them moves their current story sections to the Reuse existing library, where they wait rather than being deleted. Keep them too adds the copied sections beside what is already there.

Click Apply. The sites update at once.

The confirmation carries an Undo button. For seven days afterwards, Layout → Advanced → Undo last layout copy on the listing you copied from puts every listing back exactly as it was: sections, pages, tabs, menu names and order, hero, brand and any links the copy created. If a newer copy has since changed one of the same listings, undo that one first.

A linked listing shows a Synced with … card at the top of the Layout tab's page list, naming the listing it follows, with a switch set to on. Switch it off and confirm Stop syncing to go your own way; the current design stays exactly as it is and edits here stay here. The template listing shows the same card as Syncing to N listings; switching it off unlinks them all. Advanced, at the foot of the page list, still copies layouts, undoes the last copy and unlinks followers, and the Saving… / Saved indicator at the top right adds how many linked listings each save reaches.

In the editor preview, every section a link carries wears a badge in its top-left corner. Synced marks a story section whose words and photos are shared. A section the template copies without sharing it, such as a form or a built-in block, shows From and the template listing's name on a linked listing, and Copied to and the number of listings on the template listing. Click any badge to see what it means for that section.

Giving one listing its own version of a section

A linked story section, such as a founder letter, shares its words and photos across every linked listing, and the editor preview marks it with a Synced badge in its top-left corner. Click the badge to see every listing and page the section is on. Open the section to edit it and a bar under the editor's title says which other listings the edit reaches, with an Edit only this page button; press it (or choose Unlink this copy behind the badge, the same button sits behind a From badge) to give this listing its own version: it keeps its current content, and edits stop flowing in or out. The rest of the link keeps working. Later changes to the template listing's other sections, hero and brand still arrive, but they never overwrite the section you unlinked. A section you remove from a linked listing stays removed in the same way. To make every listing's founder letter different, unlink that section on each listing, or unlink the listings from the template altogether.

Links do not chain. A listing that follows another cannot serve as a linked template, and a template cannot follow a different listing. Either can still give or receive an independent copy.

One switch across a group site

You don't need the wizard to hide or show a single built-in section everywhere. On a listing that belongs to a group site, flip a section's Show switch in the Sections tab and a bar appears: Apply to all does the same on the other listings in that site (one button per site when the listing is in several). Only that one section is mirrored. The other listings keep their own order and everything else. Just this one keeps the change local, and Don't ask again hides the bar in this browser.

The same idea exists inside a story section: change its Style, Side, Width, Height or Align and a bar offers Apply to all story sections on the site.

Ask the assistant

The assistant handles the same choices in plain words: “Apply the Dock House design to my three cabins and keep them linked”, “Copy just the Welcome section to the Loft”, “Give every listing the Dock House colors and fonts”, “Copy the About us page to all my listings”, “Make the other listings' menus match this one”, “Undo that copy”, or “Stop syncing the Birch Cabin.” It lists exactly what will change and waits for your go-ahead before copying anything.

What to know

  • Same account only. Designs copy between listings on one account. Group sites have their own editor and are not part of this.
  • Page addresses stay put. Renaming a tab through a menu copy changes what the menu says, not the page's web address.
  • Library brands stay connected. When the template uses a brand from your brand library and a linked copy takes colors, fonts and logo together, the other listings join the same library brand, so edits in the Brands tab reach all of them.
  • Photos are never shared across listings. Sections that show gallery photos pick up each listing’s own.
