How to create a master block
In this article, you will learn how to create a master block inside your page editor layout.
What you will need:
- An active SystemeScale account.
- A funnel page.
What is a master block?
A block is a grouping of elements and content that can be saved and reused on other pages.
A Master Block works exactly the same way, but with one key difference: any changes you make to it are automatically applied to every page where the block is used.
Example:
If a master block is on page A and reused on pages B and C, modifying an element within the block (such as text or color) updates it on pages A, B, and C automatically.
Step-by-step: Creating a master block
A master block can be created from any element on a page. In this example, we will save a page section as our master block asset.
1
Select your Section element
Click on the Section layout container inside your editor canvas to view its properties.

Critical Operational Deletion Rule
If you delete a Master block, it will be automatically removed from all pages where it is currently used because any changes to a Master block instantly affect every linked instance across your account. Once changes are saved, the old version of the layout cannot be restored.
