Hey Weavers, Sorry for the delay in this week’s video, but it’s finally here :sweat_smile: And yes, we’re looking at Globals again — We’ve implemented a lot of your feedback and things are really starting to take shape! Watch the video below to see how you can use Globals and overrides to create …

I really like the way templates (globals) are shaping up. I do have a few comments on the demo today: Having the templates (globals) at essentially the bottom of the elements tab feels rather awkward. Given how important they are likely to be to a site, I’d much rather have them presented and mana…

I like this next evolution of partials - becoming what will globals. Being able to break a global and change each one will save tons of time. Any way of making the globals list within the tab more prominent?
