**I think it would be particularly helpful to have the ability to make a global module ‘Smart.’** So you can choose the alternate content within the module itself. We have the ability to make rich text smart, but, It’d be nice if we could do this with the actual global modules themselves…

What do you guys think?

I just think it’d be interesting to be able to shift the structure of the module around based on a specific smart rule, instead of having to clone it or create a separate page/piece of content.

Right? Would make editing emails and landing pages so much more efficient and dynamic

Great idea for menus in headers that change depending on the country. Would love to have smart content in global headers rather than cloning and updating.

This idae is in BETA! Edit the global module in the new design manager and you can see it on the right panel.

@yidanwang Interesting. I saw the language transltions in the custom modules, those are pretty neat, too.

However, some of the global groups I’ve created don’t have that option… Maybe it has to be a certain kind or maybe they’re still working on it. Seems like they’re still testing out a few things.

Smart content is available on Global Modules.
