# Builder library

> The Builder library is where you manage the reusable building blocks of your site — page templates, headers, footers, popups, blocks, and global styles.

The **Builder library (مكتبة البلدر)** is where you manage the **reusable building blocks** of your site's design. From one place you control the parts that repeat across your whole site — your header, footer, popups, saved blocks, page templates, and global styles — so a change in one place updates everywhere it's used.

You'll find it in your **site dashboard** under **Builder → Builder library**.

<Info>
  Two libraries, two jobs: the **Builder library** is where you *build and manage* your own reusable parts. The **[Template library](/en/site/templates-library)** is where you *import a complete, ready-made design* for your whole site.
</Info>

## What's inside

The Builder library is organized into tabs:

| Tab               | What it controls                                                                                                  |
| ----------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Templates**     | Reusable page layouts applied across many pages — for example, the design used for every product or article page. |
| **Headers**       | The header (top bar and menu) shown across your site. Edit it once and it updates everywhere.                     |
| **Footers**       | The footer shown at the bottom of every page.                                                                     |
| **Popups**        | Reusable popups — a promotion, newsletter sign-up, or announcement that can appear on your site.                  |
| **Blocks**        | Reusable content sections you can drop into any page from the Builder.                                            |
| **Global Styles** | Site-wide colors, fonts, and styling defaults that keep every page consistent.                                    |

<Note>
  Headers, footers, and global styles are **shared**, so editing them here changes them across your whole site at once — the fastest way to update your branding everywhere.
</Note>

## Create or edit a building block

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the Builder library">
    In your **site dashboard**, go to **Builder → Builder library**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Pick the type">
    Choose the tab for what you want to work on — **Templates**, **Headers**, **Footers**, **Popups**, **Blocks**, or **Global Styles**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add or open one">
    Choose **Add Template** to create a new one, or open an existing item to edit it.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Design it in the Builder">
    Build and style it like any page — see the [Builder overview](/en/site/builder-overview) — then save.
  </Step>

  <Step title="It applies where it's used">
    Shared parts like your header, footer, and global styles take effect across your site as soon as you save.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  Set up your **header**, **footer**, and **Global Styles** first. They define the frame and the look of every page, so getting them right makes building individual pages much faster.
</Tip>

## How it differs from the Template library

|                   | Builder library (مكتبة البلدر)               | Template library (مكتبة القوالب)               |
| ----------------- | -------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------- |
| **What it's for** | Build and manage *your own* reusable parts   | Import a *complete, ready-made* site design    |
| **Scope**         | Individual pieces (header, footer, a block…) | Your whole site's design at once               |
| **Effect**        | Edits only the part you choose               | Replaces your current design (see its warning) |

## Frequently asked questions

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Will editing my header here change every page?">
    Yes — your header, footer, and global styles are shared across your site, so one edit updates every page. That's exactly what makes them useful.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What's the difference between a Template and a Block?">
    A **Template** is a full reusable layout (like the design used for all your article pages). A **Block** is a smaller section you drop into a page where you need it.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Is this the same as the Template library?">
    No. The **Builder library** is where you build and manage your own parts. The **Template library** imports a whole ready-made design. See [Template library](/en/site/templates-library).
  </Accordion>
