Right-click on the element that you want to copy and select Copy

Clone instead of copy and paste

If you just want to have the identical element directly below it, you can use clone instead. You can find it on top of the Copy:

Copy elements from a different page

You can use these methods to also copy an element from a page and paste it onto a different page within the same site. You just need to have two pages opened on separate tabs and copy elements between them.

And if you want to copy all elements from a page, instead of copying, you can use the Global Templates feature.
