## **What are Saved Section Templates?**

Saved Section Templates are a powerful enhancement in GHL Customer Care that allow users to create, save, and reuse content sections across multiple assets, such as Funnels, Websites, Webinars, and E-Commerce Stores. With this update, you can choose between three types of saved sections: Universal (syncs everywhere), Global (syncs within a single asset), and Template (static, reusable, and non-syncing). 

-   **Section Templates:** Saves as a copy, which can be used anywhere as a template.
-   **Global Sections:** Saves at the funnel level. Any changes in one instance will sync across this funnel only.
-   **Universal Sections:** Saves at the account level. Any changes in one instance will sync across all instances, account-wide.

This system ensures design consistency, saves time, and reduces confusion about how content updates propagate.

**Difference between Universal and Global Sections:** 

**Universal Sections** update automatically across every instance in the account across Funnels, Websites, Webinars, and E-Commerce Store.

**Global Sections** update only within the current funnel/website.

## **Key Benefits of Saved Section Templates**

Saved Section Templates offer several advantages that help users manage content more efficiently and maintain brand consistency:

-   **Centralized Updates:** Universal Sections automatically sync changes across all instances in Funnels, Websites, Webinars, and E-Commerce Stores.
-   **Flexible Reuse:** Choose between Universal, Global, or Template sections based on your needs for syncing or static content.
-   **Visual Selection:** Automated screenshots and clear labels make it easy to preview and select saved sections.
-   **Efficient Cloning:** Cloned sections and snapshots get unique IDs, so edits to copies won’t affect originals.
-   **Improved Performance:** Enhanced backend architecture ensures faster syncing, better reliability, and secure template management.
-   **Reduced Confusion:** Clear section types and visual cues help users understand how edits will impact their content.
-   **No Personal Data Stored:** Only layout information is saved, protecting user privacy.

- What this covers: When editing another page, use the “Add Section” option to browse and insert your saved Universal, Global, or Template sections.
- Next: Plan your section type before saving, as it cannot be changed later. Use Universal Sections for content that must stay consistent everywhere (e.g., headers, footers).

To change a section’s type, clone it and save the clone under the desired type.

## **Best Practices for Section Management**

-   Plan your section type before saving, as it cannot be changed later.
-   Use Universal Sections for content that must stay consistent everywhere (e.g., headers, footers).
-   Use Global Sections for content unique to a specific funnel or website.
-   Use Templates for reusable blocks that may need customization in each instance.
-   To change a section’s type, clone it and save the clone under the desired type.

## **Using AI with Saved Sections (Universal, Global, Template)  
**

AI Page Revisions work best when you choose the right target scope—especially when your page contains saved sections that may sync.

**Expected Behavior (by target)**

-   **Single saved section target:** If you target a single saved section, the revision is intended to update only that section without changing other page areas.
    
-   **Page-wide style target:** If you request page-wide style changes, updates may affect multiple sections on the page, including saved sections, depending on what the AI updates (for example, global typography/colors). 
    

**Sync Implications** 

-   **Universal / Global sections:** If the revision edits a section that is linked and syncing, changes may propagate to other instances of that section once published.
    
-   **Template sections:** Template sections are intended to be reusable starting points; edits should remain local to the current page.
    

**Best Practice**

-   For a page-only variant, insert a **Template** (or clone the section) and revise that copy.
    
-   After any revision, review the change summary to confirm the scope and ensure no non-targeted sections were modified.

## **Frequently Asked Questions**

**Q: Can I change the type of a section after saving it?**  
No. Once saved as Universal, Global, or Template, the type cannot be changed. Clone the section and save it under a new type if needed.

**Q: Can I restore an older version of a Global or Universal Section?**  
No. Saved sections do not have version history. Once edited, previous versions cannot be restored.

**Q: Why does an older page version still show the latest section changes?**  
Global and Universal Sections always sync the latest saved version. Restoring a page does not restore an older section version.

**Q: Will edits to a Universal Section update everywhere?**  
Yes. Changes sync across all funnels, websites, blogs, webinars, and stores.

**Q: What’s the difference between Global and Universal Sections?**  
Universal Sections sync across the entire account.  
Global Sections sync only within the funnel or website where they were created.

**Q: What happens if I clone a section?**  
Cloning a saved section creates a new unique ID. It will no longer sync with the original.

**Q: What happens if I clone a page that contains Global or Universal Sections?**  
The same section IDs are carried over. Edits will still sync everywhere unless you clone the section itself.
