A Block I Added Later Is Not Editable (Re-sync IDs)

New blocks added after a page is protected are read-only for Client Editors until you press Re-sync IDs. Here is how.

A Block I Added Later Is Not Editable (Re-sync IDs)

New blocks added after a page is protected are read-only for Client Editors until you press Re-sync IDs. Here is how.

A Block I Added Later Is Not Editable (Re-sync IDs)

You protected a page, and later added a new paragraph, image or button. The client cannot edit the new element. This is expected, and easy to fix.

Why this happens

When you protect a page, every block receives a stable, invisible ID. Permissions are attached to these IDs instead of fragile selectors. Blocks you add afterwards do not have an ID yet, so Client Edit Mode treats them as read-only for Client Editors.

How to fix it

  1. Go to Client Edit → Protected Pages.
  2. Find the page in the list.
  3. Click Re-sync IDs next to the page.

You will see the confirmation Block IDs re-synced. The new blocks now have IDs and follow the page permissions.

Tip

Whenever you edit the structure of a protected page as an administrator — adding, moving or removing blocks — press Re-sync IDs afterwards, so your client can immediately edit the new content.
