Ensure You Are in “Page Editor”
Before you can make any edits to a page you must first click “Edit Page” at the top of the admin bar. This will bring you into the page editor.

Duplicate
Right-clicking will bring up some options. From the options click “Duplicate”.
Review

Edit Contents
If you want to edit the contents of the new column hover over the contents in the column and click on the edit widget settings. It looks like this:
That will bring up settings on the left side of your screen.
Make any changes that you want.
Save & Exit
Once you have duplicated and adjusted your column(s), be sure to hit the green “Update” button at the bottom of the settings panel before exiting by clicking the red “X”.
