Ability to copy 'Quick Links' web part from one SharePoint page to another.

Can you enable the ability to copy web parts (particularly Quick Links' between SharePoint pages?

I use the quick links web part as a means of common navigation between related pages, however as more and more pages are added, I need to manually add the new page to all of the previous SharePoint pages I have made to ensure the Quick Links navigation is consistant whichever page you visit.

It would be far easier to be able to copy the Quick Links web part instead of having to edit it over and over again. It would be even better if you could embed a 'section' from a source page so the web part can be modified in one location and all the other pages would follow suit automatically.

    There is no OOTB option to move a web part from one page to another page in the SharePoint online. You only could move and duplicate a web part in the same page.

    Here are two workarounds:

    1.On the top bar click the plus + next to "New" then select "copy of this page" allows you to make a complete copy.

    2.You could develop a custom SPFx quick links web part with packaged links.

    Meanwhile, to get this option in the SharePoint online, I recommend you give suggestion in the feedback portal and help to make improvements. Many features of current products are designed and upgraded based on customers’ feedback. With requirements like this increase, the problem may well be released in the future. Thanks for your understanding and support.
