# Synced Blocks

Synced blocks let you reuse the same content across multiple knowledge base articles.

Synced blocks let you reuse the same content across multiple knowledge base articles. Edit the block once, and every article that embeds it updates automatically.

This is useful for content that appears in many articles, like disclaimers, prerequisites, or common troubleshooting steps.

## Embedding a Synced Block

1. In the article editor, type the forward slash key (`/`).
2. Select **Synced block** from the menu.
3. Search for the block by title and press Enter to embed it.

Only published synced blocks appear in the picker.

## Editing a Synced Block

Hover over the embedded block and click **Edit** in the toolbar. The block opens in its own editor, and saved changes apply to every article that embeds it.

## Unsyncing a Block

Hover over the block and click **Unsync** to convert it into static content in that article only. Other articles stay synced.

## Deleting a Synced Block

When you delete a synced block, you can either:

* **Desync**: inline the block's current content into every article that uses it, so the content stays put but is no longer synced.
* **Remove**: drop the content from all articles that embed it.

## Suggestions

The **Suggestions** tab on the **Synced blocks** page lists content that AI found repeated across your articles, with a proposal to turn it into a synced block.

* Open a suggestion to review each affected article, and **Approve** or **Reject** the change per article.
* Select suggestions to **Accept** or **Dismiss** them in bulk (up to 10 at a time).
* Click **Regenerate Suggestions** to scan your articles again.

## Translations

Synced blocks have their own translations. When an article is viewed in a translated language, the matching translation of the embedded block is shown, falling back to the default language if none exists.

{% hint style="info" %}
Use synced blocks for content over multiple articles you expect to change over time. For one-off copy, a regular paragraph is simpler to manage.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.usepylon.com/pylon-docs/knowledge-base/articles-and-collections/synced-blocks.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
