GlobalBlocks Table

How to use:

blockName :: single descriptive word,
camelCase
⁠
, that will be referenced in the formulas.
blockContent :: The actual content of the block. Can use rich formatting, as in the “footer” below.
Then see the How To Use section below for how to use the GlobalBlocks across your Doc.

g_NavTest
Can also add links to Pages like
Dashboard
⁠
or
Projects
⁠
in order to create navigation blocks.
And if you click twice in a Text cell, double arrows appear in the lower right corner. Click that to open a WYSIWYG editor where you can format text, add links, code blocks, emojis, etc.
Concatenate(GlobalBlocks.Filter(blockName="g_NavTest").blockContent)
There are no rows in this table

How To Use

Click once to highlight the “Copy Code” column cell for the Block you want to use.
When highlighted, Copy it.
Go to whatever Page you want to place the “blockContent” and where you want it to appear, begin by typing “=” which will bring up the Add Formula window.
Paste the code and hit Return.
The “blockContent” should show up.
Return to this page to modify the “blockContent” if you want to make changes.
Click twice somewhere in the “blockContent” area (NOT on a link)
Double arrows should show up in the lower right corner.
Click those to open the full screen Rich Text editor for that “blockContent” column.
NOTE: Never change the “blockName” or else all the pasted blocks on other Pages will break.
NOTE: If you want to use a DIVIDER line, like in the “g_Footer” you have to use spaces to force the divider to be wider than the widest text line. So I put a bunch of spaces above it...which also functions as a top margin.
