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:

ColumnMeaning
NameDisplay name of the block.
Block typeOriginal CMS block type (e.g. image-text).
TypeLinked (live-synced) or Static (independent copy).
TagsAssigned keywords.
Created atCreation date.
UsageIn use (count) or Not used.

Per-entry actions

ActionDescription
EditChange the entry's name and tags.
PreviewShows type, block/slot counts and the config (JSON).
Show usageLists the Shopping Experiences using the block.
ExportDownloads the entry as a JSON file.
DeleteRemoves 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.
