Reusable sections and pages
Share one section across Plus pages with Appears on, or keep independent copies.
Quick start
- On Plus, open
/portfolios/edit/[pid]and expand Pages in Setup. Add a second page if you only have Home. Details: Nickname, URL, and pages. - Open an extra gallery (from Additional sections) or a call to action (from Calls to action).
- Under Appears on, tick Home and your second page. Helper text: the same content stays in sync on each selected page.
- Edit the gallery or CTA once. Confirm both pages show the same update in Preview.
- You should now have one section on two pages — not two separate copies.
Extra pages and sharing a section onto a second page require Plus (multi-page-portfolio). Free and Pro have 1 page. Styling a shared section in theme Layers updates every page it appears on: Section styles, Theme editor overview.
Deep dive
Share vs Duplicate
These look similar and do different jobs:
| Share (Appears on more than one page) | Duplicate | |
|---|---|---|
| What you get | The same section on each ticked page | An independent copy with its own content |
| Edits | Change it once; every selected page updates | Edits to the copy never change the original |
| Delete | Delete removes the content everywhere | Deletes only that copy |
Appears on is the control for extra galleries, extra projects, CTAs, and similar copies: choose every page the section should appear on.
Some original sections still use a single-page Appears on list (one page at a time). Do not assume every section can be shared. If you only see one page to pick, that section is assigned to that page only.
Pages and sharing by plan
| Free | Pro | Plus | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pages (includes Home) | 1 | 1 | 8 |
| Gallery or projects | 2 | 4 | 8 |
| Call to action | 0 | 4 | 8 |
| Content blocks / embeds | 0 | 4 | 4 |
| Share onto a second page | No | No | Yes (multi-page-portfolio) |
Catalog defaults. Your live plan can differ — check Pricing rather than assuming a dollar amount.
Plus extra pages: up to 8 total, including Home. You cannot delete Home, and Home’s public slug stays Home (/p/[slug] with no extra page segment). Extra pages use /p/[slug]/[page].
Free and Pro: you cannot add a second page, and you cannot share a section onto a second page. Appears on still lets you place or unplace on Home.
CTAs require Pro (custom-blocks). Free cannot add them (limit 0).
Downgrade
If you leave Plus, extra pages and over-limit sections stay saved. The public site hides what your new plan no longer allows. Extra-page URLs typically send visitors to Home until you upgrade again.
Re-upgrade brings the saved pages and sections back. Nothing is silently deleted.
Site chrome
Header, site menu, and footer are site-wide chrome. They are not page sections and do not use Appears on. Overview: Theme editor overview.
Styling a shared section
Open theme Layers, select the shared section, and change its layout or styles. Every page it appears on uses those styles. Content still edits in the portfolio editor; look lives in the theme. See Section styles.
Tips
- Build one CTA, then tick every page it should appear on. Duplicate only when the headline or link should differ.
- Keep extra page slugs short. Assign sections with Appears on so Home does not collect everything by default.
- After a downgrade, leftover extra pages stay listed and locked in Setup until you upgrade again.
- Preview the specific page after you change Appears on — preview follows the pages the section is on.
Delete on a shared section removes it from every page. Untick a page under Appears on if you only want it gone from that page.
Troubleshooting
I cannot tick a second page
- Sharing onto a second page is Plus (
multi-page-portfolio). Free and Pro see a Plus upgrade path instead of working extra-page checkboxes. - You need at least two pages. Add one in Setup Pages on Plus.
Both pages show different content after I edited one
- You may have Duplicated instead of sharing. Shared sections stay in sync; copies do not.
- Confirm Appears on lists both pages on the same row, not two similarly named extras.
Extra pages disappeared after I changed plans
- They are still saved. The public site hides pages and extras your plan no longer includes. Upgrade again to show them. Nothing was deleted.
