If I transform a button as Global, it would then be very useful to be able to also set the **Link** in the **Global Overrides** section.

Because the properties that commonly differ between one button and another are definitely the text, the icon, but most importantly the link.

If you are able to add the **Link** in **Globals Overrides** then it makes much more sense to impossibly set a **Button** as **Global** and with just a few clicks you can easily change the styles of buttons found throughout the site.

Good news: you can already do this, and more!

Simply “unlink” each setting from the Global by clicking the link icon next to each control — it’s a really flexible system that allows complete control over any/all settings on each instance of a global 🤯🤩

Is this redundant to the “Global Overrides”, then? What’s the point of having those two methods of breaking from the global?

The Global Overrides are for the “on page” content — so an editable Text, and/or any dropzone content.
