Overview

Cloning schema types is a process that allows you to duplicate existing structured data templates, facilitating consistency and efficiency across your website. By replicating schema types, you can maintain uniformity in data representation, reduce manual effort, and ensure that similar content types adhere to the same structured data standards.

If you need to add the same schema type multiple times, you wouldn’t need to add each instance of the schema using the ‘Schema Type’ drop-down. 

Step-by-Step Process

For example, you want to add the blog schema type to tag all the blogs on a single page. Choose the blog schema type, click on the 3 dots, and click on ‘Clone Schema’.

Enter the number of times you wish to clone the schema type and click on ‘Ok’.

The schema type will be cloned to tag each blog on your page.
