Reusable Synced blocks FAQs
-
Synced Blocks, also known as "reusable content" or "reusable blocks," are saved content blocks that you can use across multiple posts and pages in Squarespace. When you edit a Synced Block, all instances of that block across your site are automatically updated.
The Synced Blocks plugin uses a Reusables blog collection to store and manage all your blocks, making it easy to keep your content consistent.

Saved Sections are a Squarespace-native feature that allows you to save and reuse sections of your site. However, unlike Synced Blocks, Saved Sections do not update automatically when changes are made. Additionally, there’s a limit of 50 Saved Sections per site, while Synced blocks can be unlimited.
Synced blocks are ideal for small, repeatable content elements like CTAs or disclaimers, whereas Saved Sections are better suited for larger layout sections like Galleries or Auto Layouts.
