Global Block

Global Blocks created in EComposer allow you to create a section once and then add it throughout multiple pages or areas of your website. If edits ever need to be made, you can go back to the Global Blocks management page and edit it once there. And then have those changes reflected throughout the entire website. See the difference between Global Block & Section Builder.

When use Global Blocks?
