Same Menu and Header for all templates

Hi guys,

We have the following problem in our site:

a) We have multiple templates;

b) In each of these templates we have the Header and Footer of our site (they are components);

c) The Header and Footer has the same content for all the templates;

c) The author has dialogs where he sets the configuration of the Header and Footer.

The problem here is that he has to set these Header & Footer configurations for each of the templates.

So, if the menu changes, he has to open all the templates and make the change.

Is there a way to centralize these kind of configurations? we want to do it just one time.

Unless the header and footer is a dynamic content, it has to be managed at the template.

couple of options

1. As Scott mentioned use editable templates and let author make changes or

2. I would create a experience fragments using these components and include in the template. So you can make a change at one place in experience fragment and that gets reflected on all the templates

thanks,

Exactly - if you put in header EX and want to change - you change it at one location and it should reflect in all locations where its used.

I assume you are using editable templates. You would need to open each editable template and update the headers and footers.
