Docs | Synced Blocks / Text Mirroring
planned
Synced blocks enclose any section of text/images/etc. that can then be copied elsewhere and can be edited in multiple locations and it updates everywhere.
For example, if I write out a goal that I want to keep in front of me, I can add it to all relevant docs and task descriptions and if I make changes to it, it'll update everywhere else as well.

This would be a much needed feature for us. We use Notion in some of our client projects specifically for this reason/feature. Wikis/Documentations without synced blocks get messy very quickly. Hope this feature is coming to ClickUp very soon.

Global Sections (Synced Blocks) for ClickUp Docs
M
Marc Kemmer
It would be extremely valuable for ClickUp Docs to support “global sections” (similar to “Synced Blocks” in Notion). This feature would allow users to create a block of content that can be inserted into multiple documents. When the content of a global section is edited in one place, the changes are automatically reflected in every other instance of that section across all documents.
== Why is this important ==
Organizations often need to maintain consistent information—such as legal disclaimers, privacy policies, company imprints, or standardized instructions—across many documents. Currently, updating such content in ClickUp requires manual edits in every document, which is time-consuming and error-prone.
== How it works in Notion ==
Notion offers a similar feature called “Synced Blocks.” Users can create a block, sync it across multiple pages, and any change to the block is instantly updated everywhere it appears.
== Official documentation ==
== Requested Solution ==
• Add the ability to create “global sections” or “synced blocks” in ClickUp Docs.
• Allow users to insert these sections into any document.
• When a global section is updated, the change should be reflected in all documents where it is used.
• Provide a central management interface for admins to oversee all global sections.
== Benefits ==
• Ensures consistency and compliance across all documents.
• Saves time and reduces the risk of outdated or inconsistent information.
• Makes it easy to manage frequently used or legally required content.

This is a very tempting feature of Notion that might make us consider using it instead of ClickUp in some cases.
We want to use the company Wiki feature in ClickUp, but it will only be useful if we can embed quotes from the wiki in other docs, tasks, and comments - to build the habit of referring back to the wiki

This is a key feature in Notion that I'd love for Clickup Docs to have

Brent according to the roadmap this feature is not even there anymore. Any news on this?
Brent
Hi Zsolt Kozma , appreciate you checking in. This continues to be one of our most requested features, and the interest from you and others hasn’t gone unnoticed.
It’s something we’re keeping top of mind, and we’ll share updates here as soon as we’re ready to move forward. Thanks again for your patience and for sharing how important this is to your workflows.
Kala Wangsness
Brent Thanks for the update! I'm (im)patiently waiting for this one to go live.

I believe I saw on the latest Feature Fest that the presenter had a sync content option on the menu. Is there a way to get on a beta of this or is there better timeline when we can expect to see it?
Surbma
It was planned in 2024, even a sneak peek was added. Any news about the actual release? Very needed feature to manage our huge knowledge base.
Oleksandr Zalishchuk
This feature is very much needed for us. Please implement as soon as possible

Here to upvote this feature - this is a critical feature for us. This feature is the one that our team misses the most since we switched from Notion to ClickUp, and they are hesitant to fully commit to ClickUp without it. Since it's been a few months, any updates on a release date for this?
Marius
It was "in progress" in May, now it's "planned". Is the progress going back? Has it been downgraded in priority?
Brent
Hi Marius, we do still plan to release this feature!
The status shift reflects our commitment to refining the feature to make sure it delivers the best experience. We’re excited to bring it to you when it’s fully ready. Thanks so much for your patience and enthusiasm!

Thank you for clarification
Brent. based on this, I think that your changing priorities while refining and rolling out this feature in the future means that this has a blocking feature dependency associated with it.
If it's alright, then can you please tell us the roadmap for ClickUp documents?
I feel that many things are changing in how we interact with docs, but fundamentally they still don't translate to anything substantive for us, the consumers.
Like many here, I am waiting for you all to roll out this feature to organize lots of stuff and leverage true referencing and backlinking in our projects. This dependency is causing us to react negatively.
I hope you understand our perspective, too.
This transparency regarding your roadmap and priorities will allow us to be patient and reschedule our own work accordingly.
Thanks
Brent
Hi Shreyansh Jain, thank you for your detailed comment and sharing your perspective.
It’s clear how important this is to your workflows, and we truly value your patience and input. This feature remains a priority for us, and we want to ensure its release will meet your expectations and provide exceptional value.
Here’s a link to our ClickUp roadmap, where you can see our current plans across all areas of ClickUp.
Thank you again for your feedback.
