Global widgets vs block patterns for reuse

Global widgets vs block patterns for reuse
Reusing a CTA across 50 pages — builder global widget or Gutenberg pattern?

Global widget (Elementor) / synced block:
— Pros: edit once, updates everywhere live, true single-source, great for footers/CTAs
— Cons: tied to the builder, deep dependency, deleting it breaks every instance

Gutenberg pattern (unsynced):
— Pros: insert a starting point, then each copy is independent and lean, no live dependency
— Cons: updating the design means touching every page, no central control

Best for: global/synced widgets for elements that must stay identical (footer, pricing CTA); unsynced patterns when you want a consistent start but per-page freedom.
