Keeping important content consistent across multiple websites can be a hassle. Whether it’s a legal policy, a market-wide promotion, or corporate contesting terms, updating the same information in multiple places takes time and can lead to mistakes.
Global Content solves this by giving you a single place to manage content that appears across multiple websites in your OneCMS network.
Instead of copying and pasting, you create the content once, then display it anywhere you want using a simple shortcode. Make a change on the original site, and it updates everywhere else — automatically.
How Is It Different from Share Bins?
Share Bins are made for syndicating entire posts or articles across multiple sites into one or more categories — like news stories or blog content — and allow each receiving site to edit the content independently if needed.
Global Content, on the other hand, is built for specific, reusable blocks of content — like policies and disclaimers, streaming instructions, or market-wide promotions — that you want to manage in one place and display in many. This content can only be edited on the original (parent) site, which guarantees consistency across your network.
Just copy the global content shortcode and place it wherever you want the shared content to appear on any of your sites, and it will always show the latest version, direct from the source.
Make an update on the parent content and it updates instantly wherever you placed the Global Content shortcode!
What are the Benefits of Global Content?
- Centralized updates: Edit once, and updates appear everywhere
- Granular placement: Insert the content exactly where you want it using a shortcode
- One source of truth: Keep every site up-to-date with one source of truth
