Global Blocks make it easy to manage and update hundreds or thousands of landing pages with a single click. Create Global Blocks for page sections that you’ll use repeatedly, like headers, footers, testimonials, and more so that you can edit it once and it will be updated on every page automatically.
Saving a Global Block
In order to turn any of your page blocks into a Global Block, click on that particular page block, then click More in the upper left corner of the block and click Save as a Global Block.
Give your new Global Block a name and click on Save.
Adding a Global Block to your pages
In order to add an already saved Global Block to your pages, click on the Instablocks icon or on the INSERT BLOCK button and select the Global Blocks tab.
You can insert the block you are hovering the cursor over, or you can rename or delete it from the options menu.
NOTE: You can add a specific global block only once per page. You can have multiple global blocks on the same page as long as they are different global blocks. If you add the same global block multiple times on the same page, only the first instance of the block will load on the live URL of the page.
Editing a Global Block
To Edit, select the block on the page, and click Edit Global Block to make your updates.
To change your block’s font or add HTML/CSS or Javascript, click Block Settings and update from there.
Once you’re done, click Apply Changes in the top right corner.
You’ll see a screen reminding you that this update will be applied to all pages that include this Global Block. Press Proceed to update all pages.
Note: If you’re editing a Global Block that’s already inserted on a live page, you’ll need to have Manager Permission to apply any updates.
If you want to update just one page, and don’t want the changes made globally. Click on your Global Block, click More, and then Disconnect Global Block.
Now it’s a normal page block, so any changes you make here won’t be reflected on other landing pages.
NOTE: Global Blocks, just like regular Instablocks, are not shared between workspaces. The gallery of saved blocks is individual to every workspace.
