Using Patterns

In this module, you will learn how to add a block pattern to a page. This is a great way to build consistent content throughout your site.

Step-By-Step

1. Add Block Pattern

Go to the page where you would like your pattern to appear. Add your block pattern using the block menu. Once the menu is open:

1. Click on the Patterns tab
2. Go to My Patterns
3. Select your pattern

2. Customize Content – Non-synced Pattern

If using a non-synced pattern, you can go ahead and customize the block content on your page. This will not affect the pattern anywhere else on the site.

3. Customize Content – Synced Pattern

If you add a synced block to a page, any changes that you make will cascade across the entire site changing all blocks of this type.

You can detach a synced block to make it stand-alone. Once detached, any changes you make to the pattern on the page will not affect it anywhere else on the site. Here’s how:

How to detach a synced pattern

• Click the contextual menu for your block in the three dots
• Click Detach patterns
