Is there a way to copy a page's `docks` to other pages? I have probably 25 pages and I don't want to create the docks in the `Shared settings` area. I have a page with over 20 docks defined and am really not looking forward to copying them over to another page manually ☹.

TIA

Just modify the config.json page in the file system.

Do I need to wait for the filesystem to be "scanned" again for the changes to appear? This is what I tried but it didn't appear in the designer... maybe I need to restart it

As of 8.1.28 you can use [system.project.requestScan](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/system.project.requestScan)

I forgot about this function! I'm glad you mentioned it for my inevitable future reference.
