**Syndicate** lets sections travel between projects. Build a great hero once, publish it as a
block, and anyone with its **share code** can install it on their site — and receive your
updates when you improve it.

## Publishing your own block

1. Select the section in the preview.
2. Click **Publish to Syndicate** in the element panel header.
3. Name the block, optionally add a preview image, and **Publish**.
4. You get a **share code** like `SYN-ABC123` — send it to whoever should use the block.

Each time you publish changes to the same block, its version bumps (v1 → v2 → …) and
installers are notified.

## Installing a block

Paste the share code in chat — *"install SYN-ABC123"* (or use the **Syndicate Embed** slash
entry and paste the code in its panel). Genesis fetches the block, places it on your page,
and pulls in anything it needs. Done — it renders like a native part of your site.

## Finding blocks in the marketplace

Browsing the marketplace rather than pasting a code someone sent you:

- **Search looks inside descriptions**, not just names — so a block described as "pricing table
  with a monthly/annual toggle" is findable by what it does.
- **Filter by several categories at once**.
- **Sort** the results with the marketplace's own controls.

## Installed blocks are locked

A syndicated block on your page shows a **Syndicate badge** and is **read-only** — the
publisher owns its design, you get their updates. That's the deal that keeps updates safe.

- The AI won't restyle it, and its settings panels (e.g. a syndicated live stream) show as
  managed by the publisher.
- Want to make it your own? **Eject** it — the block becomes ordinary editable code, and
  updates stop.

## Updates

When a publisher ships a new version, a **notification bell** appears in your builder. Review
and click **Update** — the block refreshes to the new version in place.

## Notes

- Install as many different blocks (or copies of one block) per page as you like.
- Share codes aren't secret-protected: anyone with the code can install. Don't publish blocks
  containing private content.
- Publishers can unpublish a block — already-installed copies keep working.
