Saved Blocks enable you to save sections of your emails for re-use across all your campaigns.

You might use Saved Blocks for a variety of reasons including:

You want to create a re-usable custom header with your logo and other elements.
You want to create a heading style that can be re-used throughout your email.
You want to create a section that has elements within it, styled in a specific way, that you wish to re-use in other emails.
