Add content blocks
Custom blocks of content can be created, and then added to any page, group of pages, or even to another block. For example, you might place an image slider in a block, and then place the block on the home page. The Blocks workspace uses the same basic controls as the Pages workspace to help you find available blocks and perform routine maintenance. When the block is complete, you can use the Widget tool to place it on specific pages in your store.
Create a block

On the Admin sidebar, go to Content > Elements > Blocks.
