Wannes	Background of the issue: I am working on a site under development and trying to sync a page with its original language. I usually use the 'Overwrite with [language] content' button for this task. The 'Overwrite with [language] content' button is missing when I edit the page. I opened a ticket earlier and was given instructions to disable plugins and found out that it's the popular Classic Editor plugin that is the cause of the issue. I was able to replicate it in the sandbox environment I was given in the previous support chat. It can be seen when editing this specific page: hidden link. Link to a page where the issue can be seen: hidden link. Symptoms: The Copy and Overwrite buttons in the right sidebar are missing. Questions: Why are the Copy and Overwrite buttons missing when I edit the page? How can I resolve the issue caused by the Classic Editor plugin?
