A They allow you to update content in one place and see changes everywhere the element is used.

B They make your website load slower because of repeated content.

C They prevent you from using images and videos in posts.

A The user did not save the reusable block after editing.

B The reusable block was deleted from the library after editing.

C Those pages have the reusable block converted to regular blocks, so they don't update globally.

D WordPress does not support updating reusable blocks on published pages.

If a reusable block is converted to a regular block on some pages, those blocks become independent and won't reflect global updates.
