Shared content blocks
A shared content block is an HTML fragment (a piece of an HTML document) that you create once and then insert in as many documents as you want. However, unlike a fragment that is simply copied from one document to another, each copy of a shared block retains a kind of connection to its source, so that changes you make to the shared block’s source can be replicated automatically in every copy.
You can create a shared content block from almost any part of any Web document, such as a table, a layer, a set of navigation links, and so forth: if you can select it in Edit mode, you can make it into a shared block. Namo WebEditor stores shared content blocks in .nsc files, which are HTML files that contain just HTML fragments, rather than whole documents. To edit a shared content block, you edit the .nsc file that contains its source.
You can only create and use shared content blocks in documents that belong to a local siteA managed collection of documents, folders, and resource files on the local file system that you intend to publish as a Web site.. If a local site is not open, the commands related to shared content will not be available.
