    Hi all,

    Question is mostly in the title. I'm working with blocks and need to clone a block and append it to the end of the document, not just where it is currently located. Can this be done with blocks and if not, what is the best way to accomplish similar behavior?

    On another side question, is it possible to use the deleteBlock method to delete the Nth clone of a block?

    Any help appreciated!

    Hello,

    What version and license of phpdocx are you using? Please send to contact[at]phpdocx.com the username or email of the user that purchased the license you are using.

    You need to use DOCXPath (https://www.phpdocx.com/documentation/introduction/docxpath) for both tasks.

    I'm working with blocks and need to clone a block and append it to the end of the document, not just where it is currently located

    You need to use cloneBlock to clone the block and then moveWordContent to move the cloned block to the end of the document.

    is it possible to use the deleteBlock method to delete the Nth clone of a block

    The deleteBlock method doesn't include a method to delete specific positions of a block, but you can use removeWordContent to accomplish this task.

    Regards.
