When building a website, certain sections appear repeatedly across multiple pages. Examples include the header, footer, promotional banners, and newsletter signup sections. Instead of editing these sections individually on each page, HubSpot Content Hub provides global modules that can be updated from a single location.
Global modules help maintain consistent content and simplify website management.
Understanding how HubSpot Content Hub global modules work helps teams efficiently manage shared website components.
A global module is a reusable module that appears across multiple pages of a website.
When the module is updated once, the changes automatically apply to every page where the module is used.
Common examples of global modules include:
Without global modules, teams would need to update the same section manually on many pages.
Global modules provide several advantages:
This feature becomes especially valuable for large websites.
Developers usually create global modules in the HubSpot Design Manager.
To create a global module:
Once created, the module can be inserted into templates or pages.
Global modules are often added to templates so that they appear across the entire website.
For example:
Templates ensure that these global modules are automatically included when new pages are created.
To update a global module:
The update will immediately apply to all pages using that module.
Global modules are commonly used for sections that must remain consistent across the website.
Examples include:
Centralized updates help maintain consistency across all pages.
HubSpot Content Hub global modules allow teams to manage shared website components from a single location. By updating a module once and applying the change across multiple pages, businesses can maintain consistent content while simplifying website management.
