Description

Added support to ContentArea to include internal and local blocks.

Block instances in properties are accessible only through the content owning the blocks; the block instances do not have an identity or lifecycle of their own but rather are published or deleted as part of the content that owns the blocks.

  • You can assign a local/internal block to a ContentArea.
  • You can convert a shared block to a local block (only accessible from Forms View or flyout editor in on-page editing). Not available directly from the block overlay.
  • You cannot use local blocks (For this page) inside an inline block (the new one which is serialized into parent content).
