Create Reusable Sections for Pages (Beta)

Tip: This feature is available via a public beta. Please reach out to your Account Manager if you are interested in participating.

Reusable Sections are centrally managed content blocks that can be saved and reused across multiple Pages. They’re ideal for standardized headers, branded footers, or key call-to-action elements, helping you work more efficiently while maintaining content control and consistency. Build a section once and add it anywhere.

When you update the original Reusable Section, the changes will be automatically applied everywhere it’s used - saving time and ensuring accuracy. Lock certain elements, like logos, legal disclaimers, or standard fonts and colors, to maintain brand consistency across your content. At the same time, leave other elements unlocked, allowing other admins and promoted members to tailor specific details, like product descriptions or contact information, while keeping the overall structure intact.

Manage and edit section properties

By default, properties on the Reusable Section are locked and cannot be edited by admins who add the section to a Page. If you want certain aspects to be editable for other admins or Promoted Members working on a Page, you can unlock the setting.

Tip: Generally, unlocked properties are ideal for placeholders like a headline, a quote, or an image that should be swapped out. Locked properties are ideal for critical brand elements that shouldn't be changed.

1. Navigate to the Reusable Section Builder from the Reusable Sections library. Alternatively, click the Edit section icon in the Page builder for the Reusable Section.
2. To unlock a property, click a content block within the Reusable Section Builder, then click the lock icon next to a block property (e.g., a title, image, or font style) to unlock it. When unlocked, this property will be editable by any admin or Promoted Member using the section on a Page.
3. Make any desired edits to locked properties. These changes will be automatically reflected on all Pages the Reusable Section is in, without any further action required.
4. Click Save when you're done, then confirm by clicking Save section.
