Content Block: Header & Footer Stacks
What are Header and Footer Stacks?
Stacks now come in three types: Content, Header, and Footer. Header and Footer Stacks are dedicated, reusable blocks you build once and drop onto any page, the same way you already use Content Stacks.
Every new Header and Footer Stack arrives pre-loaded with a starter layout, so you are never staring at a blank canvas. A Header comes with navigation links, icons, buttons, and text blocks ready to make your own; a Footer comes with copyright text and a horizontal navigation row.
How do I create a Header or Footer Stack?
Open the Content toolkit from the left menu and select Content Stacks.
At the top of the page you will see three tabs, one for each Stack type: Content, Header, and Footer. Each tab is its own page with its own list, search, and sort.
Click the Header or Footer tab, then click Add New Stack.
The Stack type is set automatically by the tab you are on, so you only choose where it applies.
Your new Stack is created already populated with its starter elements and you land directly on its edit page.
TIP: The familiar row actions you already use on Content Stacks, including edit, duplicate, delete, favorite, and preview, all work the same on the Header and Footer tabs.
How do I customize a Header or Footer Stack?
When you open a Header or Footer Stack you can add and save your Settings then start to customize the stack.
From the Stack Block, click the edit icon (pencil) to customize your Header or Footer.
From the Stack edit page you get a multi-tab editor. The pre-built elements are listed on the left, and selecting one opens its full settings on the right, using the same editing controls you already know for that element type.
Work through each element to match your brand, for example updating navigation link labels and destinations, swapping icons, editing button text, and changing the text blocks.
Stack-level settings such as the title, styling, access, and custom CSS or JS live in the same places they do on a Content Stack.
Click Save to write all of your changes at once, and any page using the Stack picks them up the next time it renders.
IMPORTANT: In this first release the set of elements in a Header or Footer Stack is fixed. You can fully customize the content of the starter elements, but adding, removing, or reordering elements is not yet available.
How do I add a Header or Footer to a page?
Placement uses the same flow you already use for Content Stacks. In the Page Builder, click the + icon to add a Row or Stack.
Then select Stacks.
Now pick your Header or Footer from the Stack picker.
Each tile in the picker shows a type badge, CONTENT, HEADER, or FOOTER, and you can filter the picker by type.The Header or Footer is placed exactly where you click, just like a Content Stack. There is no automatic positioning, so you stay in control of the layout. Once placed, a Header or Footer block supports the same move, edit, swap, and delete actions as any other placed Stack.
TIP: Editing a placed Header or Footer from the page itself opens its stack-level settings and lets you swap it for a different Stack. To change the elements inside, open the Stack from the Content Stacks admin page.
Why can I only add one Header and one Footer per page?
Each page can hold at most one Header Stack and one Footer Stack, which keeps your layouts clean. Content Stacks have no such limit.
If a page already has a Header or a Footer, that type appears in the picker in a disabled Already on page state with a tooltip explaining what to do. Remove the placed Header or Footer and that type becomes addable again. Swapping one Header or Footer for another is not counted as a duplicate.
Where can I use Header and Footer Stacks?
Header and Footer Stacks are supported across the page editors that use the Page Builder:
- Portal pages
- Dashboards
- Public landing pages
- Public profiles
- Documents
- Marketing Campaigns
- Proposals
- LMS lessons
- LMS landing pages
IMPORTANT: Email editors do not support Header and Footer Stacks. The picker in an email editor shows Content Stacks only, and Headers and Footers cannot be saved into an email.
