Right-click on any blank space under “Site Menu,” then click “Paste” if you want the template to retain its theme. Otherwise, click “Paste & Apply Site Theme” if you want the template’s color scheme, typography, etc., to match its destination’s theme. It’s recommended that the site’s theme be applied to the copied template to maintain consistency.
