Resi V2: How to Edit a Content Block
How to find and edit a content block — the individual sections of text, images, and CTAs that make up your property websites.
Before You Start
Applies to: Resi V2 only. Important: Always check whether a block is Global (Shared) or property-specific before editing. Learn the difference →
What Is a Content Block?
A content block is a named, editable piece of content that maps to a specific section of your website. Example could be:
Home | Hero = The main banner on your homepageWe recommend the naming format is always page/section. Use this as your map when searching.
Step-by-Step
- Log into the Resi App and navigate to your property.
- Click Content in the left sidebar.
- Use the search bar to find your block — type a keyword like hero, cta, or footer.
💡 You don't need to scroll through the full list. The search bar is fast and finds partial matches. - Check for the Shared tag on the block before clicking in.
⚠️ If the block shows Shared, editing it will update all attached properties. - Click into the block.
- Make your changes — title, body text, CTA link, image, etc.
- Click Save Changes.
- Return to the property and click Clear Website Cache (top-right Quick Links).
⏱️ Wait 60–90 seconds, then hard-refresh your browser (Ctrl+Shift+R on PC / Cmd+Shift+R on Mac) to see the change on the live site.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Not checking the Shared tag before editing — you could update 40 sites when you meant to update 1.
- Forgetting to Clear Website Cache — your change is saved in Resi but won't appear on the live site until the cache is cleared.
- Navigating away before clicking Save — the form does not auto-save. Always click Save Changes before leaving.
- Editing a block at the property level and seeing a read-only view — this means it's a global block. You can only edit it from Global Content or you can Partition it!
Troubleshooting
|
Problem |
Solution |
|
The block is read-only at the property level |
It's a global/shared block. Edit from Global Content, or Partition it first. |
|
I saved but the site hasn't updated |
Did you click Clear Website Cache? Wait 60–90 seconds and hard-refresh. |
|
I can't find the block I'm looking for |
Try searching by page name (home, amenities, neighborhood). If still not found, it may be in Global Content rather than the property. |
|
I edited the wrong block and changed many properties |
Contact support immediately — submit a ticket with the property names and what changed. |
