# All Common Regions

Common Regions are shared content areas that you can create for your Site Managers to maintain directly from a Page using the Rich-text Editor.

Common Regions typically contain word processor type information like text, tables, photo, and event videos.

Common Regions are considered "safe", meaning your Site Managers and Content Managers can edit them, but cannot delete them from your Page Styles inadvertently.

Since Common Regions are placed into Page Styles, they become shared content that can be displayed on one, some, or all of your website Pages.

TIP: Common Regions are ideal for website headers and footers. They are also good for creating different departmental website area content shared only among Pages in a certain area.

Unlike Page Regions, Common Regions must be created manually by the Site Designer before they can be edited.

Once you have created the Common Region, add a <cregion> tag to one, some, or all of your Pages Styles to specify the location and scope of your Common Region across your website's Pages.
