Global Content Overview

Global content is content that is shared across portions of a website. Common examples are website headers, footers, and other items that can be used on multiple pages. 

The benefit of using global content is the efficiency and consistency it provides. Global content items only need to be updated in one location in the CMS and the update will reflect across the site.

In the CMS, the global content items for the Interim Healthcare website are located under the Global Content page type.
