Yes. this i did understand and find. but when removing, will that also remove it on the Original post that i have duplicated this post from ?!

I dont think so because you are editing the duplicate content template and from where you are adding/removing blocks, it should stick the changes to the current duplicate content template which you are currently editing.

This is what i mean, "think so" 🙂
If i spent hours making my view there is no simpla back-up than whole database if i do delete the original also... then its lost..
Even if its on a dev-site, its a lot of hours spent that then is gone.

As I shared the information with my previous reply after talking to Devs, you need to make sure that you are not making edits to exiting view block. You need to select "Edit Copy" of your view.

It seems you are circling around two different things. Editing content templates and editing views.

When you add a View block (you need to add the view that is created using blocks), it will give you two option, either you want to edit the original view or edit a copy. Once you chose the option "Edit Copy" it will not affect the original view.

And for content template, you can add/remove blocks as per your requirement with your duplicate content template and it will not effect your original content template.

Im very sorry if i make you frustrated and seams that im not understand you, but i try to do.

No i do not circle around two different thing. i use the Block 1.2, your new tool. thats great btw.
I know there is content template and there is a view in the content template. i maybe explain unclear. sorry for that.

After testing quite a bit i found how to - i didnt understand the thirs step quite, that mouse over gives me an popus that tells me if i like to use a edit copy or edit original... is was a bit confused.

I didnt went all the way. i stoped at the creation of the view as you can see in my attachement, i was looking for the edit copy here.

the selection of edit view comes first later on, when hovering the view.

Im very sorry im not understand you all the way. i do my best.

Now im understand and now im good to go. 🙂
And thank you for your patiens !!!!

Thanks !!!
