Update: 08 September 2025 for Release v218
The Content Library allows users to create and store reusable content parts that can be easily added to multiple Production and Story pages.
Key benefits include centralized content management and automatic updates across all pages. Users can create various content items, select them from a drop-down when editing Pages, and customize their appearance. This feature is particularly useful for items like contact information and banners that need to be displayed on multiple pages.
The Content Library is a place where you can create and store all kinds of content parts in a central place. These parts can then be used on multiple pages, as many times as you like.
Advantages of a Content library part:
- You can easily create content that can be used on multiple places without having to copy-paste content
- You can change the content in one central place, and it will automatically change everywhere you use the part

Here is an example of the same Content Library item added twice to the same page (which you will probably never do), with a different background colour for each. Note that the content is exactly the same, because it is the same Content library item:
This part can be used on any page you want. If you want to change the layout or content, go to your Content Library and make your changes there. Every page that uses the Content library item will automatically adapt to the changes.
Adding a Content library item to a Production
Similar to adding a Content library item to a Page, you can add a Content library item with to one or multiple specific Productions.
On the Production page in the Dashboard, select your Content library part from the list.
You can add multiple Content library items here. They will display underneath each other on the Production page.
