Workflow optimization
Elementor Pro’s Global Settings feature helps you create and manage your site’s own design system so that you can ensure consistency across your entire site and speed up your workflows.
Whenever you create a new design, it will automatically inherit its settings from your Global Settings. In the event that you tinker with your Global Settings, those changes will automatically apply across your entire site.
Of course, you’re never locked in. With Elementor, you always have the option to fully customize a design on a page-by-page basis. However, with Global Settings you can ensure that your default designs look exactly the way that you want them to and are consistent across your site.
