Overview

Global Sections are reusable sections that can be added to multiple pages and kept in sync across your site or funnel. They are managed from the Saved Sections → Global Sections area inside the Page Builder.

To improve navigation and reduce scrolling through long lists, a new search capability has been added to Global Sections, allowing you to filter sections in real time by name.


What Are Global Sections?

Global Sections are saved sections that can be reused across pages. When a Global Section is updated, those changes can be reflected everywhere the section is used, making them ideal for shared elements such as headers, footers, galleries, or review components.

They are accessed from the Page Builder when adding a section to a page.

To access Global Sections:

  1. Open the Page Builder for a page or funnel step.

  2. Click Add Elements in the left sidebar.
