Saving Sections: Global Sections and Section Templates
When you go to save a section in FG Funnels, you will be given the option to save as a Global Section or as a Section Template. While they are both ways to save a section, they are very different. This article will explore the differences and use cases for both.
In This Article:
Global Sections
- Global sections are specific to the funnel or website in which they are saved. Meaning that you can access them from other pages within the same funnel or website, but you can't access them from other websites or funnels.
- Global sections apply changes made to the section and the elements inside of it globally, meaning that it will be changed in any instance of the section on any page. When you make a change to a global section and save, you will get a warning letting you know you made a change to a Global Section to remind you that other pages will have changed too.
Global sections are outlined in dark purple rather than the traditional green of a section.
- Only one instance of a specific global section can appear on each page, so you wouldn't be able to add one global section to the same exact page more than once.
- Global sections can be great for sections like headers and footers that need to be consistent across pages.
Section Templates
- Section templates can be accessed from any funnel or website within your account so you can access them not only in the funnel or website they were originally saved in but also in any other funnel/website in your account.
- Section templates simply bring the content as it was saved into your page. Any changes you make after the section template has been added to a page will not affect any other page or the template itself.
- You can add as many instances of a global section to a page as you wish.
- Section templates can be great when you want to use a section as a base across multiple pages but make changes within that section without affecting other instances.
Saving Sections
- You can save a section by clicking on the section so it is highlighted in green. Then go up to the options in the top left of the section and click the save/floppy disk icon.
In the save panel, give the section a descriptive name so you can easily identify it when you are in the Global Section or Section Template Menu.
- From the Add To dropdown, select either Template to make it a Section Template or Global Sections to make it Global.
- Click save and your section will now be saved as either global or a template depending on what you chose.
