Templates and Globals both help you reuse groups of components, but they solve different problems.
| Feature | Templates | Globals |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | Starting a new layout quickly | Repeating content across several pages |
| Connection after adding | Independent copy | Remains linked |
| Later edits | Affect only that copy | Can update every linked instance |
| Common examples | Hero sections, feature grids, forms | Menus, headers, footers, announcements |
Templates are reusable starting points. After adding one to a page, its components become an independent layout that can be changed without affecting the original Template or other copies.
Globals remain linked wherever they are used. Update the Global once to keep shared structures and content consistent throughout the project.
{% hint style="info" %} Use a Template when each copy should evolve independently. Use a Global when every instance should continue sharing the same source. {% endhint %}
- Build and test the component layout on a page.
- Decide whether future copies should remain linked.
- Save independent starting points as Templates.
- Save site-wide or repeatedly maintained content as Globals.
- Preview changes on every page where the layout appears.
