Block Library – User Guide

This guide is for editors and shop operators working with Shopping Experiences in the Shopware admin. It shows how to use the DmfCmsBlockLibrary plugin to save, reuse and synchronise blocks and sections, and how to control their visibility.

Technical reference

Data model, API endpoints and internals are on the plugin reference page.

What the plugin solves

Recurring layouts – a hero banner, a teaser row, a whole page section – no longer need to be rebuilt by hand. Save them once in a library and reuse them everywhere.

  • Save and reuse blocks – persist any CMS block with all its slots.
  • Linked blocks – inserted instances stay in sync with the library entry.
  • Visibility rules – show/hide blocks by rule or schedule.
  • Save sections – persist a whole section including all its blocks.
  • Copy and paste – move blocks and sections across pages.
  • Import and export – back up entries as JSON and re-import them.

Where to find the features

After activation two entries appear under Content in the main menu:

  • Block Library – overview of all saved blocks.
  • Section Library – overview of all saved sections.

Saving, inserting, copying and visibility are handled directly in the Shopping Experiences editor.

No configuration page

The plugin ships no dedicated plugin configuration. All features are reachable via the two menu entries and the editor.
