Block property binding in Visual Builder

Block properties support property binding in the Visual Builder view. Binding connects a block property directly to a property on the parent Experience or Section, letting editors manage the value from the parent content item rather than editing the block in isolation.

📘

Note

Binding is available only for properties on blocks that are direct children of an Experience or Section (first-level content). Nested scenarios — where a block is placed inside another block, which is itself inside an Experience or Section — are not supported.
