Resi V2: Understanding Global vs. Property-Specific Content

The single most important concept in Resi V2 — understanding the difference between Global (Shared) content and property-specific content, and why it matters before you edit anything.

What Is Global Content?

Global content is any piece of content — a headline, CTA, gallery, FAQ, or announcement — that is shared across two or more properties simultaneously. When you edit a global item, that change rolls out to every property it's attached to at once.

This is one of Resi's most powerful features. Update a portfolio-wide CTA in one place, and it refreshes across 40 sites automatically.

How to spot it: Any content block, FAQ, gallery, or announcement with a "Shared" tag is global.


What Is Property-Specific Content?

Property-specific content only affects the one property you're working in. It has no "Shared" tag. You can edit it freely without impacting anything else.

Yes

When to use

Portfolio-wide copy, shared CTAs, common FAQs

Property-specific headlines, local events, unique descriptions


The Golden Rule

⚠️ Always check for the Shared tag before editing. If you need to change something for just one property, you must Partition the block first to create a local copy. Editing the global version will change every site it's attached to.

What About the Purple Shield?

The purple resi-shield-48px shield icon is different from the Shared tag. It means the field is syncing directly from your PMS. You cannot edit it in Resi — it must be updated in your PMS and then synced.

Common purple-shield fields: office hours, floor plan names, unit pricing, property address.


Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Editing a global CTA to change just one property's button text — this changes all 40 sites. Partition first.
  • Assuming no Shared tag means it's safe for everyone — property-specific just means it only affects this property, which is the right behavior.
  • Confusing the purple shield with the Shared tag — these are two separate concepts. Shield = PMS data. Shared = global Resi content.
