Saved Sections:

Squarespace has introduced a new feature allowing users to save sections for reuse on other pages. By clicking the heart icon, users can save an entire section, including all its design elements, and duplicate it elsewhere on their website.

Two important points to note about this feature:

• This functionality applies to Squarespace 7.1, and like most feature updates, it is limited to this version.

• It's essential to be aware that the saved content does not auto-sync. Any modifications made in one section will need to be manually replicated elsewhere on the website.

This feature provides users with a convenient way to maintain consistency in design across different pages while working within the parameters of Squarespace 7.1. If you have further questions or need additional information, please ask!

Copy & Paste Feature

Squarespace has released a massive update for experienced designers so you can unleash a property feature. Fluid Engine makes it easy to copy and paste whole sections. Just highlight the boxes, go to the part of your site where you want to duplicate the section, execute a simple ctrl c + ctrl v, and boom! The potential of this is crucial, as Squarespace has truly demystified the design process, allowing both experienced designers and novices alike to build a site quicker than ever.

Text Scale & Highlight

Text scaling takes this a step further by dynamically changing the size of text in line with the size of the viewport so that every user experiences a consistent scaling down and transition from desktop to mobile. This gives consistency and ease of use across devices.

In addition, the new feature allows users to emphasize text, even isolated words in a section, with design styles. This goes as far as adding animated effects, which both make the text pop but also guide the viewer's gaze to what information is being shared. These updates help to make your Squarespace website cleaner and more captivating.

Google Merchant

The latest addition to Squarespace is a game-changer, especially for e-commerce store owners who may have been contemplating between Squarespace and other e-commerce platforms. Squarespace has now introduced the capability for users to seamlessly connect with Google Merchant accounts.

This integration with Google Merchant on stores is a huge upgrade for online stores to show off products on Google. This integration becomes attached to the online shopping experience where potential customers can search for items, and in return, they see your products listed as recommendations. This update is a huge reach for Squarespace, and we are so excited to see this powerful feature!
