Using content blocks

Content blocks are the building blocks of a StoreConnect site. They hold the content of your pages, and let you reuse styles and content across a store.

Which fields on the Content Block record do anything depends on the Content Template you choose. The record shows every field regardless, so a field you fill in on the wrong template is simply ignored at render time, with no warning.

For the fields each template uses, see content block templates and content block containers, both in this section.

No added styling

A block with Content Template set to No added styling uses only Content Block Name, Identifier, and Content. No other field on the record is rendered, and child content blocks are ignored.

You can still render child blocks from this template, but you have to call them yourself with Liquid. See rendering content blocks with Liquid.

Container

A block with Content Template set to Container uses only Layout Style, Title, and Subtitle.

Its child blocks come from the Child Content Blocks related list on the Related tab, not from the Content field.
