Drupal: Add a Reusable Block to a Web Page

A Reusable Block is a single piece of web content which may be placed on multiple pages. When the Reusable Block is edited and published, all of those pages are automatically updated.

Create a new Reusable Block

If you have some web content which must appear on multiple pages, please request a new Reusable Block from webteam@fredonia.edu. Please include the content you want to use across multiple pages and the URL links to those pages.

You can view all the Reusable Blocks that you can edit by choosing Workbench > All Recent Content or visit https://www.fredonia.edu/admin/workbench/content/all then choose "Reusable Block" in the filter and click Apply.
