The SharePoint PageCloner is a utility for automatically creating multiple duplicates of a "template" web part page that you have layouted and pre-populated with web parts and web part settings once.

The Problem:

Manually copying web part pages (*.aspx) does not cover the web parts placed on the source page. Manually exporting and importing those web parts is time-consuming and not available for list or library web parts.

The Goal:

• You want to create in one go many copies of a "template" / "master" web part page that you have layouted and pre-populated with web part instances and web part settings.
• The web parts require certain customizations for each copy of the web part page, but always in a similar fashion.

The Solution:

The SharePoint PageCloner utility is fully configurable and parameterizable and allows for one-off source page customizations to be applied to all cloned target pages.
