Hi @RichardAllum thanks for watching! Currently custom building blocks are personal to your Document, so technically the building block will not be available to others. However, when you create a custom building block these are saved to an autogenerated folder in your Google Drive and can be shared from there, collaborators can then highlight and create a personal custom building block for themselves. As to moving the folder to a shared drive, this will produce an error message for unmovable files. This is caused by the required change in ownership of items when moved to Shared Drives. We'll be watching this functionality for more collaboration in the future, but there is currently no plans we are aware of.
Thank you for sharing such useful information!
Custom Building Blocks look great. Is it possible to save them in a shared drive to be used by other people?

@@Damsoncloud thanks for such a detailed reply. Having us work on shared drives would be great for teams. Let’s hope Google sees it that way too.
Great video and explanations! Thank you for sharing.
These look very impactful. I need to be more creative!
