Any block can be turned into a reusable block from the More Options button on the Block toolbar. Once a reusable block is created, it can be added to any other post or page by selecting it from the Reusable Block" section of the block inserter.
- [Instructor] For me, reusable blocks…is the most exciting feature of the block editor…and once you see how it works,…I think you'll agree with me.…So I'm on this page which is eventually going to…become the front page and at the very bottom of this page,…I've added this section.…So here I've added just a separator with some dots…using the dots style for the separator.…You can see in this theme,…we have three styles for the separator.…Below that, I've added a columns block with two columns.…In the left hand column, I have the logo for the company…and in the right hand column, I have three elements.…So here we first have a heading, then we have a paragraph…and then we have a button.…
And I just know that at some point,…when I'm building out pages,…I'll want to reuse this particular block here…because this is the call to action box that I'll use…and I don't really know where it's going to appear.…In some posts it may appear at the top.…In some, it may appear in the center…and in some, it may appear at the bottom…
