Divi Theme Builder Guide: Build Site-Wide Templates
The Theme Builder is where Divi moves from page design into site-system design. Use it to solve repeated templates once rather than styling every page independently.

Start with templates
List the site’s repeatable content types: global header, global footer, blog posts, categories, products, landing-page families and custom post types.
Use conditions carefully
Apply the narrowest condition that matches the intent. Global templates are powerful, but an overly broad assignment can unintentionally change unrelated content.
Keep content dynamic
Templates should pull titles, featured images, post content and other dynamic fields where appropriate instead of hard-coding page-specific values.
Document exceptions
When one content type needs a special template, record the reason and assignment. Template sprawl can become as hard to maintain as page sprawl.
