Reference mode
Reference mode keeps the document connected to the reusable block.latest
uses the current active version when the reference is resolved.
Snapshot mode
Snapshot mode copies the block content into the document. The copied elements can be edited independently and do not change when the library block is updated. The visual editor exposes both actions:- Reference inserts a linked, read-only block.
- Copy inserts an editable snapshot at the current cursor position.
Version behavior
Publishing changed block content creates an immutable version with an optional
changelog note. Restoring an older version creates another version instead of
rewriting history, so pinned references continue to resolve exactly as before.
Metadata-only changes do not publish a content version.
Manage blocks in the Reusable Blocks sidebar
or through the Developer API and MCP tools.
