Setting up Copy Presets

1. Create a Copy Preset Page:

   • Create a new page in your page tree
   • Set the page type to "Copy Preset Page" (doktype 3151625)
   • Name it descriptively (e.g., "Marketing Templates", "Standard Sections")

2. Add Content Elements:

   • Add content elements to this page that you want to use as templates
   • These can be any content element type (text, images, containers, etc.)
   • The header field of each element will be used as the title in the wizard

3. Organize Multiple Groups:

   • Create multiple Copy Preset Pages to organize your templates
   • Each page becomes a separate tab/group in the wizard

3. Click it to open the wizard
