Data reports sometimes require a page containing contextual information, such as resource links or background details on how the data was collected. Often, you may want to include the same information in multiple reports.

The issue arises when the information is contained in multiple reports and an update is required. You would need to track down all reports containing the information and update each individually. In this scenario, embedding a report page from another Looker Studio report can be a suitable solution.

Our new series of connector templates includes a page called "Getting Started," which links to many resources that apply to all our connectors. Almost all the information on this page is managed in a separate Looker Studio report and then embedded using the technique described in this help article.

It's possible to place additional elements on top of the embedded information. We do this with some links that change for each report. You may notice that these elements load faster than the content block. This is a small caveat of this method, but it allows us to update many reports with a single change.
