A Global Section is a single section or set of multiple sections that can be customized, saved, and re-used throughout your store. Once a Global Section is created, it will retain its design and function when added to a page. Anytime a change is made to the Global Section, that section will instantly update across every page it’s added to. Global Sections can include elements such as rows, columns, text, images, buttons and more!

Global Sections save you time and effort by streamlining the design process, making it easier to update and maintain pages. These sections are also team-friendly, ensuring that the correct design and function is maintained when multiple team members access and work inside the Zipify Pages app.
