Page Sections and "Blocks"

In XperienCentral, a "page section" is a block of content that can be shown on multiple content items at different specified locations on those content items. When implementing custom code handling or manipulating page sections, as a developer it is important to understand that the name for the 'page section' concept in earlier days was 'block'. This old name can still be found in several interfaces, classes and class members in XperienCentrals code base. The names 'page section' and 'block' are completely interchangeable, but it is encouraged to use the new name 'page section' where possible.
