is it possible to add a block of content (from existing content) to a grid layout (similar to forms)?
Example: I have a content type "panel" with text (lorem ipsum). I would like to add this "panel" to the "homepage" and "contact page" as a link to this content. When I edit the panel content, they will have updated "panel" content on the home page and contacts page.
This will allow you to define a new grid editor, based upon a document type...
So you could create a new 'document type' that has just a content picker, configured to pick from a folder of 'Content Panels' and then you could implement the partial view for this editor to take the picked content item and render it how you'd like your panels to display inside the grid.
Updates to the actual panel item, will update any of the grid pages that used the picked panel.
Content picker in Grid Layout
Hi,

Thanks.
Hi Jojo
Yes, but not 'out of the box' - you could create your own 'grid editor'
https://our.umbraco.com/documentation/getting-started/backoffice/property-editors/built-in-property-editors/grid-layout/build-your-own-editor
but the easy way to do this is to install the package Doc Type Grid Editor:
