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 Block Configuration

As mentioned in the comparison of Layout Builder in-line blocks versus global blocks, the in-line blocks also differ in that you deal with the block's configuration directly on the page through its own unique submenu.

In the screenshot shown to the right, you can see that, once the pen icon has been clicked, a submenu specific to in-line block displays showing the available options.

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.

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.
