# Save as Symbol

# 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.


Refer to the **GIF** below to see how this is done:

# 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.
