Globals

Globals are site-wide, typed, single-value variables you can inject anywhere in your project. Use them for values that appear on many pages — a company phone number, a current promo headline, an opening-hours block, a Calendly URL — without binding to a CMS collection.

Unlike CMS collections (which hold many items), each global holds one value. Unlike a hand-typed string repeated on twenty pages, a global is the single source of truth: change it once and every page that injects it updates on the next publish.

Creating a Global

1. Open the CMS tab in the left sidebar
2. Switch to the Globals section
3. Click Add global and configure:
   • Name — How you’ll find it in binding menus (e.g. “Support email”)
   • Type — The data shape (text, number, link, image, rich text, etc.)
   • Value — The current value, edited with the right control for the type

Save the global to add it to your project’s draft.

Supported Types

Globals support the same value types as CMS fields:

• Text and Rich Text — Inline content, supports formatting on rich text
• Number — Numeric values, optionally formatted
• Boolean — True/false flags (useful in conditional visibility)
• Date — Dates and date-times
• Link, Email, Phone — URL-style values
• Image, Audio, Video, Document — Asset references
• Color — Pickable color value

Injecting a Global

Globals appear wherever a CMS field would, under a dedicated Globals section in the binding menu:

• Text and rich-text content — In the inline data-injection dropdown (the database icon) in the canvas, sidebar text editor, and localization editor. Pick a global to insert it as a chip in the text flow.
• Images, videos, and backgrounds — As a source option on image, video, and background-image bindings.
• Links — As a target on button and link bindings.
• Conditional visibility — As the value being compared in show/hide conditions.

Globals also resolve inside collection loops and dynamic pages, so a header with {Support email} works the same whether the page is static or driven by a CMS item.

Type, Format and Renames Are Live

The label, type, and number/date format of a global are resolved at render time on the canvas, the published site, and static HTML exports. That means:

• Renaming a global updates every binding instantly — no layer republish required
• Changing the type (e.g. text → rich text) re-renders all bindings with the new shape
• Formatting (e.g. number format, date format) is applied live wherever the global is injected

Draft / Publish Lifecycle

Globals follow the same draft and publish model as the rest of your project. New globals and edits live in your draft until you publish. The Publish popover lists pending global changes alongside page, component, style and collection changes, and reverting a project reverts global drafts back to the last published value.

Deleting a global marks it for deletion; the deletion takes effect at publish, and any bindings that pointed at the deleted global fall back to nothing (or a placeholder for assets).

Common Uses

• Contact details — Company phone, email, address, support hours
• Marketing copy — Current promo banner, hero headline, CTA label
• Brand assets — Primary logo, OG image, favicon source
• External links — Calendly, App Store, social profiles
• Settings & flags — Booleans driving conditional visibility (e.g. Show banner)
• Localization scaffolding — Translate the global once and every page picks up the localized value
