You create a shared block similar to a page by selecting a predefined block type that contains properties where information is added. See [Shared blocks](docId\:Sk6IttciRxVGGhrsoAa6m).

1. Create a shared block from the assets panel directly from content areas in pages or from the **add** button in the toolbar.

If you add a shared block directly from the content area, it is saved in the **For This Application** folder, meaning it is available only on the selected app and cannot be used on other apps.

2. Select a block type from the list of available blocks.

3. Provide a name for the shared block.
4. Add information for the shared block.

You can drag a shared block into a Visual Builder experience. Unpublished shared blocks show icons to indicate they are not yet published.
