When spaces are no longer being used, our procedure is to transfer that content to a page, and throw that page under our Archives space where users have to request access to it. The benefit of this is that it opens up spaces for other uses. In other words, we don't simply need to keep purchasing more. (It was actually Sean Willson who advised me on that procedure back when we first launched, and I've used it ever since).

My question: when I do this work, is there an easy way to copy the content/layout of a space to a page? Right now, I just use the soon-to-be-retired space as my guide and simply create the page to look exactly like it. And then I move the content over. Fine, but tedious. Is there an easier way to do this? 

Thanks!
