Managing the libraries
Saved blocks and sections are managed in two overviews under Content:
- Block Library
- Section Library
Both views work almost identically.
The Block Library
Open Content → Block Library. The list shows:
| Column | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Name | Display name of the block. |
| Block type | Original CMS block type (e.g. image-text). |
| Type | Linked (live-synced) or Static (independent copy). |
| Tags | Assigned keywords. |
| Created at | Creation date. |
| Usage | In use (count) or Not used. |
Per-entry actions
| Action | Description |
|---|---|
| Edit | Change the entry's name and tags. |
| Preview | Shows type, block/slot counts and the config (JSON). |
| Show usage | Lists the Shopping Experiences using the block. |
| Export | Downloads the entry as a JSON file. |
| Delete | Removes the entry. |
More functions
- Search – the Search blocks … field filters the list.
- Delete selected – select multiple entries and remove them together.
- Import – load a previously exported JSON file.
- Export all – download the entire library as a JSON file.
The Section Library
Open Content → Section Library. It offers the same feature set as the Block Library. Instead of the block type it shows the section type (e.g. default, sidebar).
Import & export
- Export creates a JSON file with the selected or all entries.
- Import reads such a file back in. New IDs are generated so the same file can be imported repeatedly without collisions.
JSON only, no import/export profiles
Export/import uses this plugin's JSON format only – there is no integration with Shopware import/export profiles. Exported files are bound to the CMS structure of the originating Shopware version and are not guaranteed to be compatible across major version jumps.
