GoHighLevel Snippets Guide for HiRise Design

If you are moving from ClickUp documentation or other platforms into the new HiRise Design system, understanding how snippets work in GoHighLevel will help you build funnels and websites much faster. This guide explains what snippets are, how they behave, and the exact steps to create, manage, and reuse them inside your account.

What Are Snippets in GoHighLevel HiRise Design?

In GoHighLevel HiRise Design, a snippet is a reusable section of content that can be saved once and then inserted across multiple funnels and websites. Instead of rebuilding the same header, footer, or content block every time, you create a single snippet and reuse it in different locations.

Snippets streamline your workflow and improve consistency because you can manage a common section from one central place. Any changes you make to the saved snippet can be applied to every instance of that snippet wherever it is used, depending on how it was inserted.

Key Behavior of Snippets in GoHighLevel

Snippets in the HiRise Design builder have specific behavior that affects how they update and how you can edit them. Understanding this behavior will help you decide when and how to use them.

Editable Only at the Snippet Level

Once a section has been saved as a snippet and inserted into a funnel or website, the content inside that snippet cannot be edited directly on the page where it was added. Instead, you must edit the snippet itself in the snippet library. This ensures that your reusable sections stay consistent everywhere they are used.

Linked vs. Unlinked Snippets in GoHighLevel

When you insert a snippet in GoHighLevel, you are effectively linking to a saved master section. Because of this:

  • Editing the snippet in the snippet library updates all linked instances.
  • Deleting the snippet from the library causes all linked sections to stop working.

If you want to stop a specific instance from updating when the snippet changes, you can unlink it. After unlinking, that section will remain as-is on the page and will no longer receive updates from the original snippet.

How to Save a Section as a Snippet in GoHighLevel

To save time in GoHighLevel HiRise Design, turn frequently used sections into snippets. Follow these steps inside the funnel or website builder:

  1. Open the builder: Go to your sites or funnels and open the specific page you want to edit in HiRise Design.

  2. Select the section: Hover over the section that you want to reuse (such as a header, footer, or content block) until the section controls appear.

  3. Access the snippet option: In the section toolbar, click on the option to save or create a snippet. This is usually labeled to indicate saving the section as a reusable block.

  4. Name your snippet: Give the snippet a clear and descriptive name so you can recognize it later in the GoHighLevel snippet library.

  5. Confirm and save: Save the snippet. The current section becomes linked to the saved snippet.

After saving, your new reusable block becomes available for insertion on other pages built in HiRise Design.

How to Insert an Existing GoHighLevel Snippet

Once you have created snippets, you can insert them across multiple funnels and websites. To insert an existing snippet in GoHighLevel HiRise Design:

  1. Open the target page: In your GoHighLevel account, open the funnel or website page where you want to reuse the content.

  2. Open the elements or sections panel: On the left side of the builder, access the panel where you can add new sections or elements.

  3. Locate the snippets area: Find the dedicated section or tab that lists your existing snippets.

  4. Choose your snippet: Select the snippet you previously saved. You will see it listed by the name you assigned.

  5. Drag or insert: Drag the snippet onto the page or click to insert it into the desired position.

The inserted block is now linked to the original snippet. Future edits to the snippet in the library can propagate to this instance unless you unlink it.

How to Edit Snippets in GoHighLevel

Editing snippets ensures your common sections stay updated across all your funnels and sites. Because snippets are not editable inline on individual pages, you must modify them at the library level.

Editing from the Snippet Library

  1. Access the snippet library: Navigate to the area in HiRise Design where your snippets are stored. This central library lists all saved snippets in your GoHighLevel account.

  2. Select the snippet: Choose the snippet you want to update.

  3. Open for editing: Click to open the snippet in an editor view where you can adjust layout, content, images, or styling.

  4. Make your changes: Modify the snippet as needed. For example, you might update a navigation menu, change a logo, or adjust a call-to-action.

  5. Save the snippet: After editing, save your changes. All linked instances of that snippet in your funnels and websites will reflect the updates.

This centralized editing approach is ideal for global components, such as headers and footers, that must stay consistent throughout your GoHighLevel projects.

Unlinking a Snippet Instance

Sometimes you may want a specific page section to differ from the global snippet, while keeping the original snippet available for other pages. In that case, unlink the snippet instance:

  1. Select the snippet on the page: In the HiRise Design builder, click on the snippet-based section you wish to modify uniquely.

  2. Use the unlink option: In the section controls, choose the option that unlinks the section from the snippet.

  3. Edit the section locally: Once unlinked, the section becomes a regular, standalone block. You can now edit it directly on that page without affecting the original snippet.

Unlinking is useful for pages that require slight variations in layout or messaging while still leveraging the efficiency of the snippet system elsewhere in GoHighLevel.

Best Practices for Using GoHighLevel Snippets

To get the most value out of snippets in HiRise Design, follow these best practices:

  • Use snippets for global sections: Create snippets for headers, footers, and recurring call-to-action sections.
  • Name snippets clearly: Include the page type or purpose in the name (for example, “Main Header – Global” or “Footer – Legal Links”).
  • Limit unnecessary unlinks: Only unlink a snippet when you really need a unique variation to avoid managing too many separate sections.
  • Plan global changes: Before editing a snippet, remember that changes cascade to every linked instance across your GoHighLevel funnels and websites.
