Getting Started

Saving an element, row, column, container, or section on your website as a Symbol allows you to use that same item on other pages of the same website. This article will cover the steps and how Saving as a Symbol works on your CMS Site.

Saving and Unlinking as a Symbol

To save something as a Symbol on your site, follow the steps below:

- Hover over the edit tab on any element, row, column, container, or section on your website
- Right-click on it
- Select Save as Symbol
- Give it a name
- Press Save
- To unlink it, hover over the edit tab again
- Press the Globe icon
- Press Yes on the pop-up to unlink the particular item


⚠️ If you create a new page (without saving/publishing) and save any row, section, element, or column as a Symbol, it will only exist as long as the page exists. If the page is deleted, then the Symbol will disappear along with it.

Pasting a Saved Symbol

To use a Saved Symbol on any part of the same or a different webpage, follow the steps given below:

- Select Add New Section if you saved a section as a symbol, Add New Container if you saved a container as a symbol, or Add New Element Below if you saved an element as a symbol.
- Next, navigate to the Section Symbols, Container Symbols, or Element Symbols option based on your saved symbols.
- From the list, choose your saved symbol.

Symbol Sync 🔄

Any saved symbols are synced or linked with each other, meaning any changes applied to the linked Row, Column, Section, or Element will reflect on all the others.

⚠️ Unlike Collections, Saved Symbols can only be used on one website.
