    • It will categorize content types and organize them for seamless integration.
  3. Customization Options:

    • Users can choose specific pages, sections, or content types to import, providing flexibility in the cloning process.
    • Options for selecting and excluding specific elements or media types to tailor the import according to user preferences.
  4. Preview and Editing:
