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

Global Blocks save you time and effort by streamlining the design process, making it easier to update and maintain pages. These blocks 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.
