Uh oh!
There was an error while loading. Please reload this page.
Summary
Ghost lets you select a block in the editor and save it as a snippet, naming it
inline. In EmDash, sections can only be authored from the Sections admin page,
so there is no path from "I just built this block" to "reuse it later".
Current behaviour
Insert block below. There is no "save as section".
in a separate editor.
pluginBlocks, so plugin blocks can't be used in sections #2326 (the section editor doesn't receivepluginBlocks), asection cannot contain an embed at all today.
Proposal
Add Save as section to the block menu (and/or for a multi-block selection),
prompting for a name and creating a Section from the selected Portable Text.
Why it matters
Reuse is most valuable for the blocks that took effort to build — embeds, cards,
callouts — and those are exactly the ones you have just finished adjusting in
the editor. Re-authoring them on a separate page is enough friction that the
feature tends to go unused.
Note
This cannot be implemented as a plugin: the manifest exposes
portableTextBlocks,fieldWidgets,adminPagesanddashboardWidgets, butno extension point for editor or block-level actions.
