Bricks Version: 1.3.3 Browser: Chrome 92 OS: Windows 10
Hello all,
I’m not sure if this is a bug or its normal behavior, so please let me know, and I can remove it. I will list it by my understanding compared to what happens.
My understanding
I built a section template
If I edit the template directly in bricks>templates, it will apply the changes everywhere the template has been used
If I edit a template that has been added to a page, it only affects that section, not the saved global template
What’s happening
I build a section template
If I edit the template directly in bricks>templates, it will apply the changes to every template that has been used throughout the site
If I edit the template when I have added it to a page it makes the changes to all the templates on the site
Just thinking back to using Elementor, it usually says something about do you want to unlink this from global, but we do not have that option, so not sure what the correct behavior is?
There are two ways to insert a template: inserting it directly on canvas or with a Template element.
If inserted directly then editing won’t reflect other stages of that template.
If inserted by Template element then it can be edited only on Bricks > Templates and it will affect every instance where Template element is used with that template.
Hope this makes sense to you.
If I’m not explaining well, hope that someone will correct me.
Yes so it is strange that when i have added a section template to a page and make changes to the section on the page it is affecting it anywhere that i have used it.
To expand on this explanation - use a short-code element and past the shortcode of your template inside of it instead of inserting it from the template menu onto the page directly - then it’ll update everywhere if you edit it. Thanks for this tole011! Saved me lots of time
