Manage and edit section block properties

By default, all block properties in a Reusable Section are locked. Other admins and Promoted Members can't edit them when they add the section to a Page or Homepage. You can unlock specific properties to allow customization per Page or Homepage.

Tip: Unlock properties for content that should vary, like headlines, quotes, or images. Keep brand-critical elements locked.

1. Open a Reusable Section in the Reusable Section Builder using either method:
   • Navigate to the Libraries tab, select Reusable Sections from the left menu, click on a Reusable Section to open its detail panel, then click Edit Section.
   • Or, while editing a Page or Homepage, click the Edit section icon next to the section.
2. Click a content block, then click the lock icon next to any property you want to unlock — such as titles, images, or font styles. Once unlocked, admins and Promoted Members can edit that property directly on the Page or Homepage.

Note: If an admin or Promoted Member edits an unlocked block on a Page, it becomes independent from the master Reusable Section. Future updates made to that block in the master section will not apply to the customized version on the Page.

3. Make your edits. Changes push automatically to all Pages and Homepages using this Reusable Section, unless a block has already been edited on a specific Page or Homepage.
4. Click Save when you're done, then confirm by clicking Save section.

Add Your Reusable Section to a Page or Homepage

1. Open a new or existing Page or Homepage in the builder.
2. In the left menu, click the Reusable Sections icon.
3. Search by title or filter by Library to find a Reusable Section.
4. Hover over a Reusable Section to preview it and view more details.

5. Drag and drop the Reusable Section onto the Page or Homepage.
   Locked block properties are greyed out or uneditable. If the Reusable Section has unlocked properties, you can edit them by clicking on the block.

   Note: Changes to unlocked properties on a specific Page or Homepage only affect that Page or Homepage. They don't change the master Reusable Section or other Pages and Homepages using it.

See where a Reusable Section is used

1. From the Reusable Sections library, click a Reusable Section to open its detail panel.
2. Click the Used in tab to see all Pages and Homepages currently using this Reusable Section

Duplicate a Reusable Section

1. From the Reusable Sections library, click a Reusable Section to open its detail panel.
2. Click the Duplicate icon in the top of the side panel.
3. Enter a new section name and choose a destination to copy it to, then click Confirm.
4. Alternatively, within the builder, over a Reusable Section, and click Duplicate section. 

The duplicated section appears in your Reusable Sections library and can be edited independently.

Unlink a Reusable Section

Unlinking breaks the connection to the master Reusable Section, making that instance an independent, fully editable section on that specific Page or Homepage.

1. While editing a Page or Homepage, hover over a Reusable Section.
2. Click Unlink from Reusable Section.

3. Confirm by clicking Unlink.

   The section stays on the Page or Homepage but won't receive updates from the master Reusable Section.

Archive Reusable Sections

1. From the Reusable Sections library, select the Reusable section you wish to archive.
2. In the detail panel, click the Archive icon, then confirm by clicking Archive.
3. To view archived Reusable Sections, navigate to the Reusable Sections library then click Archived Reusable Sections.
4. Click the three dot menu next to any Reusable Section to Restore it, or Delete permanently.
