How to share custom blocks with your team

Use the Team Blocks feature to streamline the content creation process of your team by cutting down the time it takes to create content blocks from scratch and ensure design and branding consistency within your company. Here’s how:

Note: Admin users within the workspace are able to create Team Block folders and share them with the other users within their workspace (Share with Team). From there, Admin users are able to add more blocks to the folders. Member permissions allow the users to utilize the blocks within their project from the Team Blocks folders. Once members add the block to their project, they can edit it as needed; however, members are not able to add or edit the blocks within the Team Blocks window.

From the editor window of your project, select all of the content you wish to use as a content block by clicking and holding down the mouse and then dragging to select.

Note: You can also select objects individually by clicking on the first object, then holding down the shift key to select the rest one by one until all desired objects are selected.

Once all of your objects are selected, navigate to the top left of the editor and select Save to my Blocks.

Creating and Share Team Block Folders

After you select, Save to my Blocks, a window will appear for you to change the name of your content block, create a new folder or select an existing folder for it to Save In, and assign the block Tags if you wish.

Creating a New Team Block folder

If this is a new folder you are creating with blocks for your team, create and name the folder. Then, select to have the folder and blocks within it shared with the team. If you wish to add the block to an existing folder, you can select the folder to add it to within the folder list. Folders already shared with the team will have a circle with avatar icons in it at the bottom right corner of the folder. Once you have created or select your folder, click Ok.

Sharing an existing Team Block folder

If you have a previously created folder you wish to share with your team, navigate to the Basics tab on the left side of the editor window and select My Blocks at the top of the menu. While you’re exploring My Blocks you will preview all folders and saved blocks as a list.Hover over the folder you’d like to share with your team and click on the menu icon on the left. From there, click on Share with my Team.

How your team can use Team Blocks

While the users within your workspace are creating a project in the editor, they’ll navigate to the Basics tab on the left side of the editor window and select My Blocks at the top of the menu. From there, they can click on the My Blocks drop down and select Team Blocks. This will show the team block folders where they can click to browser available blocks you have provided for them. They can select any blocks they’d like to drag and drop them into their project.
