Saved sections help you simplify Site creation by storing collections of elements in a specific layout that you can add to other pages. However, you might have noticed there are three options when it comes to saving. So, which one should you pick? Follow along to understand them.
Section Templates #
If you’ve added a Section Template to a page, you can implement any changes without modifying the Template across other pages.
Global Sections #
Global Sections use a collection of elements where changes are implemented only to that specific product. This means, when editing a Global Section for a Funnel, the changes will be implemented across all pages; however, other Funnels, Websites, or Stores using the Global Section will remain unchanged.
Universal Sections #
Universal Sections implement changes across all products using the saved section. So, when you change an element, you will see the change reflected in all Funnels, Websites, and Stores using the element collection.

Frequently Asked Questions #
What are saved sections? #
Saved sections store collections of elements in a specific layout that you can reuse and add to other pages, simplifying site creation.
What is the difference between a Section Template and a Global Section? #
A Section Template lets you make changes on one page without affecting the template on other pages. A Global Section syncs changes across all pages within a single product, but not across other Funnels, Websites, or Stores.
What does a Universal Section do? #
A Universal Section syncs changes across all products, so editing it updates every Funnel, Website, and Store using that element collection.
Which saved section types sync across pages? #
Both Global Sections and Universal Sections sync across pages. Section Templates do not.
Can I rename any saved section? #
Section Templates and Global Sections can be renamed, but Universal Sections cannot.
Which type should I use to update one element everywhere at once? #
Use a Universal Section if you want a single change to be reflected across all Funnels, Websites, and Stores using that section.
