[Cloning] How to copy elements between Lovable projects?
Use the Remix feature to copy an entire project, then modify it. For individual components, export one project's code via GitHub, find the component JSX, and paste it into another project's code. Or describe the component in chat and ask Lovable to regenerate it in the new project.
Can I remix Cloud projects?
The reference material does not explicitly confirm whether you can remix Lovable Cloud projects. It notes that Shopify projects have remix limitations. For details on remixing Cloud projects, contact [email protected].
Can I remix Shopify projects?
Remixing Shopify projects is not recommended in the reference material. Shopify integration creates a tight connection between the project and your store. Remixing may break the connection. If you want to create a similar Shopify project, start a new project and connect your Shopify store instead of remixing an existing one. Contact [email protected] for remix edge cases.
Can I reuse an existing project?
Yes, use the Remix feature. Go to a public project and click 'Remix'—this creates a copy under your account that you can freely modify. The original project remains unchanged, and you become the owner of the remix.
Can Lovable reuse code or features from another project?
Remix an existing project to create a new version with your own code. You can then prompt Lovable to modify, extend, or customize features from the remixed codebase.
How do I copy (remix) a project?
Find the project (yours or a public one), click 'Remix'. Lovable creates a copy under your account with a new name. You become the owner and can freely modify it without affecting the original.
I added my products to a remixed template project, but the link to the product page is broken. How do I fix that?
If you remixed a Shopify template and added your own products, internal links may still point to the original template's product URLs. In the Visual Editor, select the broken links and update them to your remixed project's product URLs. Or, ask Lovable in chat: 'Fix all product links to use our remixed project's product pages.' This regenerates links to point to the right place.
I am still seeing some mock products in my remixed template project, how can I remove them?
Remixed template projects include mock/placeholder products for demo purposes. To remove them: (1) In the Visual Editor, select and delete the mock product components. (2) Or, ask Lovable: 'Remove mock products and show only real products from our Shopify store.' Lovable will regenerate the product list to pull only from your connected Shopify account.
