What are Saved Section Templates? #
Saved Section Templates are a powerful enhancement in Aiphilia that allow users to create, save, and reuse content sections across multiple assets, such as Funnels, Websites, Webinars, and E-Commerce Stores. With this update, you can choose between three types of saved sections: Universal (syncs everywhere), Global (syncs within a single asset), and Template (static, reusable, and non-syncing).
- Section Templates: Saves as a copy, which can be used anywhere as a template.
- Global Sections: Saves at the funnel level. Any changes in one instance will sync across this funnel only.
- Universal Sections: Saves at the account level. Any changes in one instance will sync across all instances, account-wide.
This system ensures design consistency, saves time, and reduces confusion about how content updates propagate.
Difference between Universal and Global Sections:
Universal Sections update automatically across every instance in the account across Funnels, Websites, Webinars, and E-Commerce Store.
Global Sections update only within the current funnel/website.
Key Benefits of Saved Section Templates #
Saved Section Templates offer several advantages that help users manage content more efficiently and maintain brand consistency:
- Centralized Updates: Universal Sections automatically sync changes across all instances in Funnels, Websites, Webinars, and E-Commerce Stores.
- Flexible Reuse: Choose between Universal, Global, or Template sections based on your needs for syncing or static content.
- Visual Selection: Automated screenshots and clear labels make it easy to preview and select saved sections.
- Efficient Cloning: Cloned sections and snapshots get unique IDs, so edits to copies won’t affect originals.
- Improved Performance: Enhanced backend architecture ensures faster syncing, better reliability, and secure template management.
- Reduced Confusion: Clear section types and visual cues help users understand how edits will impact their content.
- No Personal Data Stored: Only layout information is saved, protecting user privacy.
How To Set Up Saved Section Templates #
Proper setup of Saved Section Templates ensures your content is reusable and updates as intended. Follow these steps to save and use sections effectively:
Step 1: Open the Page Editor #
Navigate to your Funnel, Website, Webinar, or E-Commerce Store in Aiphilia and open the page editor.
Step 2:Select a Section #
Choose the section you want to save for reuse.
Step 3: Save the Section #
Click the “Save Section” option. A unified save modal will appear.
Step 4: Choose Section Type: #
- Universal: Syncs updates across all assets in your account.
- Global: Syncs updates only within the current funnel or website.
- Template: Creates a static, reusable section that does not sync when edited elsewhere.
Note: Name your section and choose how you would like to save the section, as a Section Template or Global Section or a Universal Section. Once saved once a section is saved as Universal, Global, or Template, its type cannot be changed.
Step 6: Finalize Save and Insert Saved Section #
When editing another page, use the “Add Section” option to browse and insert your saved Universal, Global, or Template sections.
Best Practices for Section Management #
- Plan your section type before saving, as it cannot be changed later.
- Use Universal Sections for content that must stay consistent everywhere (e.g., headers, footers).
- Use Global Sections for content unique to a specific funnel or website.
- Use Templates for reusable blocks that may need customization in each instance.
- To change a section’s type, clone it and save the clone under the desired type.
Frequently Asked Questions #
