Save, insert and copy blocks

A block is the smallest reusable building unit of a Shopping Experience (e.g. an image-text block or a text block).

Save a block to the library

1. Open a Shopping Experience under Content → Shopping Experiences and edit a page.

2. Click the block in the editor. The block sidebar appears on the right.

3. Click Save as block. The Save block dialog opens.

4. Fill in the fields:

   Field	Meaning
   Name	Display name in the library (required), e.g. "Hero with CTA".
   Tags (optional)	Keywords for later filtering/search.
   Save as linked block	Toggle – see below.

5. The Save as linked block toggle controls how inserted copies behave:

   • Off (default): Static copy. The inserted block is edited independently. Changes to the library block do not propagate.
   • On: Linked block. Inserted blocks stay connected to the library entry – see Linked blocks.

6. Click Save. The block then appears in the Block Library and in the picker category Saved blocks.

Insert a saved block

1. Open the block picker (left sidebar) in the editor.
2. Select the Saved blocks category.
3. Drag the entry onto the stage.

The block is inserted with all slots; new IDs are generated internally. If the entry was marked linked, the instance keeps its connection to the library block.

Category empty?

Then no block has been saved yet. Open a block and choose Save as block.

Copy and paste a block

1. Select a block. The sidebar shows the quick actions.
2. Click Copy block. The sidebar then shows Clipboard: <name>.
3. Select the target block and click Paste before or Paste after.

The pasted block is an independent copy with new IDs.

Clipboard is session-scoped

The clipboard survives navigation between pages in the same browser tab but is cleared when the tab is closed. Cross-tab paste is not supported.
