Feature Request: Allow detaching Global Reusable Content blocks

[vgadalov]

I really like Global Reusable Content — it’s a great feature. However, compared to regular reusable content, there’s no way to detach a global reusable block after inserting it.

This is a small limitation on paper, but it blocks a very important workflow for internal documentation:

Use case

We maintain a dedicated “Templates” space that contains reusable building blocks (page skeletons, standard sections, checklists, etc.).
The goal is to:
1. Insert a global reusable block into a new page (in any space).
2. Detach it to turn it into normal blocks.
3. Edit/customize the resulting blocks for a specific document.

Right now, global reusable content stays locked/synced, so it can’t be used as a “template preset” generator. Regular reusable content supports this via detach, but global doesn’t.

Feature request

Please add a way to Detach / Convert to regular blocks for global reusable content, ideally:
• Available from the block’s context menu after insertion.
• With a clear confirmation dialog, e.g. “This will create an editable copy and stop syncing with the original.”
• Preserving the exact block structure/content as normal GitBook blocks.

Why this matters

This would enable a clean and scalable templating workflow:
• Keep templates centralized in one space.
• Quickly create editable copies in any space without risking changes to the original template.
• Avoid copying/pasting manually (error-prone and slower), and avoid workarounds like maintaining duplicated template pages.

Thanks — this would make Global Reusable Content dramatically more useful for teams building internal docs at scale.
