Frequently Asked Questions

Question: What Are Synced blocks in Squarespace?

Synced Blocks, also known as "reusable content" or "reusable blocks," are content elements that can be saved once and used across multiple pages and posts on a Squarespace site. This feature allows users to maintain consistency and save time by avoiding the need to recreate the same content repeatedly.

For instance, a Form block can be designed once and inserted wherever needed, ensuring uniformity in design throughout the site

Question: Can I Categorize Synced blocks for Easy Organization?

Yes, you can categorize Synced blocks for easier organization. By creating different posts within your "Reusables" blog collection and categorize them appropriately, you can group similar blocks together. This makes it simpler to manage and locate specific blocks when needed

Question: What’s the Difference Between Synced Blocks and Saved Sections?

The primary difference between Synced Blocks and Saved Sections lies in their functionality. Synced Blocks are reusable content elements that can be updated centrally, reflecting changes across all instances where they are used. In contrast, Saved Sections are entire sections of content that can be reused but do not have the same automatic update feature; changes made to a Saved Section do not propagate across different pages unless manually updated each time
