Editing saved objects

Hi

I think the ability to save objects to the cloud library is excellent .. and I make use of this. But I have found a functional lack ... 

Say I create a header that includes a menu, a cart icon and logo in the top section. I save this header, but later need to change the cart icon to a different one. Now if I have used this object on say 20 pages, how do I change that layout so all pages get it.

I have tried placing it on a blank page, editing it and then saving it back, but this creates a second object of the same type. It does not replace the one that I used.

This leads to a big problem, as I now have to edit the 20 pages individually which is a little crazy .. 

So is there a way of editing a saved object so all pages are automatically changed that use that object?

  Hi

  I have seen the GLOBAL BLOCKS option, but I think this does not work as expected .. So I have home page and checkout page for example.

  I go to the home page and I make the header block GLOBAL.

  When I go to the GLOBAL BLOCKS section I can see it ... All OK up to now.

  Then I go to the Checkout page ... I go to GLOBAL BLOCKS .. But this is empty! 

  Should I not see the global block I just created?? What am I doing wrong?

  Yes, the Global Block is the right option in this case. 
  Let us know if you need anything else.
