Prefabs

A prefab is a saved section that you can insert into any page on your careers site. When you add a prefab to a page, the page stores a live reference to it rather than a copy — so when you update and publish the prefab, the change appears on every page that uses it automatically. Prefabs are ideal for content that appears on many pages: a promotional banner, a “we’re hiring” strip, a campaign header, or a standard footer message. Edit it once, and every page updates. To open Prefabs, click CMS in the left-hand navigation, then select Prefabs.

Prefabs vs templates

Both prefabs and templates let you insert a pre-built section into a page, but they work differently: Use prefabs for sections you want to keep in sync. Use templates as a starting point you then customise independently.

Editing a prefab

Publishing a prefab updates it on every page that uses it. Saving without publishing does not change the live site. If the prefab appears on many pages, double-check the result after publishing.

Version history

Like pages, prefabs keep a version history. Every time you save, a new version is created, and you can switch back to an earlier version from the History panel if needed.

FAQs

A prefab is a live-linked, reusable section — edit it once and every page that uses it updates. A template is a one-time copy you customise per page. Use a prefab for shared content like a footer; use a template as a starting point.
Saving alone doesn’t update the live site. You need to Save & publish the prefab for the change to propagate to every page that uses it.
Yes — create a new prefab from that section’s content, then add the prefab back to your pages in place of the standalone section.
