Blocks

Within the template, content is organized into blocks. General CMS sites name blocks by function and location, ex: Navigation, Left Block, Middle Block.

Shared Blocks

Some content is maintained in a block outside of a specific page. These blocks can then be shared by multiple pages. On this page, the blue "Departments" area on the left is a shared block. The block is in a separate folder in the CMS (in this case _contacts in Blink) and then linked from specific pages. To change a shared block on a page, navigate to the shared block in the CMS, edit it and then publish the relationships to the block.
