How to edit saved Addons?

Asked by ULTIMO IMPERIO 1 month ago Last activity 1 month ago

Saved Addons Problem

I use saved addons on multiple pages. When I change it on one page, the changes do not appear on the other pages. If I save the corrected addon with the same name, it does not overwrite the already saved one, but saves an additional addon with the same name, which means I have to fix everything again on all pages. Please fix the error or explain how to fix the saved addon so that the changes are visible on all pages? Or that when saving a Addon it asks me "do I overwrite an already saved addon"...

Hi,

Thank you for your feedback.

Please note that Saved Addons are designed to save and reuse an addon configuration as a reusable copy. They do not work like a global preset or a linked component.

When you insert a Saved Addon into multiple pages, each insertion becomes an independent instance. Therefore, editing the addon on one page will not automatically update the same addon on other pages. Similarly, saving the modified addon with the same name creates a new Saved Addon rather than overwriting the existing one.

So, the current behavior is expected and is not an error.

This is complete nonsense. Why would I save an addon if I can't add it to other pages on the website? This feature is useless and you can just remove it. Make addons more user-friendly. So that we can create, edit and add them to other mass websites.

Hi,

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We understand your concern, and we apologize for the confusion caused by the current behavior of Saved Addons.

The purpose of Saved Addons is to allow users to save an addon configuration and reuse it as a starting point on other pages. However, they are not currently designed as globally linked elements or presets. Once a Saved Addon is inserted into a page, it becomes an independent copy, so changes made to that instance do not affect the other copies.

We understand that this may not match the workflow you expected. A system where you can create an addon once, use it across multiple pages, and have changes automatically synchronized would indeed be more suitable for managing repeated content across a website.

Your suggestion about making Saved Addons work more like global presets, including an option to update/overwrite an existing Saved Addon, is valid. We will pass this feedback to our project manager and development team for consideration.

Thank you for taking the time to explain your use case and help us identify areas where the feature could be made more user-friendly.

Best regards
