# Content Library

### **Creating a Content Block**

1. Navigate to **Content Library** from the dashboard.
2. Click on **Create Content Block**.
3. Select your preferred content block type. You can upload a Word document or create an Online Builder template. These content blocks can include merge tokens in it.
4. Set a unique **Key Name**. This will be used to reference the content block in your templates.

{% hint style="warning" %}
The **Key Name** can only be set when creating the content block and cannot be changed later.
{% endhint %}

### **Refer the Content Block in Templates**

* In any template, use the following syntax to embed the content: **`{{content_block "your_key_name"}}`** 
* At the time of document generation, the content from the referenced content block will be included inline.

### Example Use Case

Let’s say you often include the same Terms and Conditions section in your Quotes and Proposals

* You can save that as a content block in the Content Library and set a unique Key Name (e.g., **tnc**) to reuse it across templates.

* To include this content block in your templates, use the following syntax:

  &#x20;**`{{content_block "tnc"}}`**&#x20;

* Any updates to "Terms and conditions" in the Content Library will automatically reflect across all templates where it’s used—without having the need to edit each template individually.

### Supported Actions on Content Block

* **View linked templates:** Click the chevron (**>**) before to the content block name to view the list of linked templates.
* **Copy:** Duplicate a content block with a different Key Name.
* **Share:** Share access to a content block with Members in the same workspace.
* **Edit:** Allows to edit the Name and Description of the content block.
* **Delete:** Deletes the content block permanently.&#x20;

{% hint style="warning" %}
