We're pleased to share that our Phase 2 slate of projects will be deployed on Friday, August 18, 2023. This update will include a host of new features, new blocks, and service updates to improve your SiteFarm experience.

In-line versus Global Blocks

We've previously described the difference between System and Custom blocks, but in Layout Builder we add another layer of distinction: Global versus In-line blocks.

Layout Builder Orientation

Updated - The orientation screenshot has been updated to reflect the change to the content preview section (#12) which has been changed from a checkbox with text to an icon button of an eye. Text/formatting has also been added for the Publication status for easier reading.

Marketing highlight - horizontal block

The Marketing highlight - horizontal block is a custom block that allows you to include an image and a short title. It's meant to draw the eye and invite visitors to click on a link to more detailed content.

Understanding blocks

What is a block?

A block is a reusable, self-contained piece of content that you can create, configure, and add to pages site-wide or in limited, specific locations.
