Publishing a page produced a second copy instead of updating the existing one

What you are seeing

Publishing a page produced a second copy instead of updating the existing one.

#Why it happens

Capable keeps a link between each source page and its published copy. That link was lost, so the app created a new page rather than updating the old one.

#What to do

Delete the duplicate by hand in the target space. Then turn on "Update existing pages by title" in the Structure tab and republish. Capable will then pick up the existing page with the same title instead of making another copy.

Publishing settings Structure tab with parent content, page structure, space homepage and the Update existing pages by title toggle — Look for the "Update existing pages by title" toggle at the bottom of the Structure tab.
