By default, the content of a Page Module is ONLY used on one page. But what if you want to have content on a module that is shared across your site?
This guide is for you!
We will be creating a list of items that the user will be able to choose from on each module.
First you'll need to create a new Model, and add the fields that you want to make available on your Page Module.
Once you have the Model created, you need to create a List from that Model. You do that right from the Model detail screen.
Now, go ahead and create 1 or more items in the list. If you will only ever have 1 version of the Content, you only need 1 item in the list, but this will future-proof the concept in case you want to multiple version of the content later.
New head to the Models section again and create or edit your Page Module.
Add a field of type Linked Content, and choose the following options:
Go ahead and save that field and the Page Module.
When you add this module to your Pages, you'll have the ability to choose which Content Item from the list you created that you want to pull the content from.
Whenever the content in that list is changed, it will update on ALL the pages that have chosen that particular item.
