For example, below are header and footer global blocks that could be included on several pages.
Global blocks use the same drag and drop editor as any other block on your landing page, but they do have a few different options when editing and publishing.
To add
Adding global blocks is the same as adding any other block. The only difference is you’ll select “global blocks” from the left sidebar after clicking “add block.”
- Click
→
.
- Choose to either build your own block (either from scratch or using our pre-designed blocks) or add an existing global block.
To edit
When you edit global blocks, you’ll see that the top bar is simplified with only the options that relate to blocks.
- Hover over your global block and click
.
- Name your block in the top left corner.
- Edit the block as you would normal landing page blocks.
To save
If you aren’t ready to update every instance of your global blocks, you can still edit them and save your changes in the editor. The next time that you edit your block, your changes will still be there but not added to the pages where your blocks live.
- Click

→
.
To publish
When you’re satisfied with your edits, you can update all instances of your block by publishing it.
- Click
. A confirmation pop up will appear and tell you how many pages will be updated. If you approve updating all the listed pages, click
at the bottom of the pop up.
- Click
to return to your page editor.
To convert existing blocks
You can convert any block that you’ve created on any landing page to be a global block. So if you’ve already created navigation bars using normal blocks, you can easily make them global.
- Select the block you’d like to convert and click
→
→
.
- Name your block in the top left corner.
To detach from global editing
When you detach a global block from the page, that instance of your block stays on your page, but it’s detached from global editing. This is ideal if you need one page with a slightly different navigation bar or footer.
- Hover over your global block and click
→
.
To remove
When you remove a global block from your page, you can choose to remove the block from only the page you are editing or from all pages it is placed on.
- Hover over your global block and click
(which appears on the right edge of the block), click which page(s) you would like to remove the block from, then click
.
To delete
Deleting a global block will remove it from your library and all pages where it’s placed.
- Click
→
→
.
- Type “DELETE” then click
.
To see all locations
If you would like to make sure that you’ve put your global blocks on every page you need them, you can pull up a list of every page that has your block on it.
- From your global block editor click
.
- You’ll see a pop up that lists the name of every page that has your global block on it. Click the page name, and the editor of that page will open in a new tab.
