Install in another project

Option A: Git subtree (recommended)

From the target project backend/:

git subtree add --prefix=src/plugins/content-copy git@github.com:YOUR_USER/content-copy-plugin.git main --squash

Option B: Copy the folder

Copy src/plugins/content-copy into the target project at the same path.

Enable the plugin

Update config/plugins.js:

'content-copy': {
  enabled: true,
  resolve: './src/plugins/content-copy',
},

Build

Run:

npm run build

Notes

• Only the sections dynamic zone is supported.
• Clipboard data is normalized on copy (system keys removed, media objects to IDs).
• For i18n, pass locale to target the active locale.
