# Partials

Partials let you define reusable schema fragments that can be included across multiple content types. They are a practical way to reduce duplication and keep schema design consistent as your content library grows.

This section introduces patterns for using partials to share common fields and structures across schemas.

## Why use partials

Partials are useful when you want to:

- Reuse common groups of fields
- Keep schema definitions easier to maintain
- Apply the same structure across several content types
- Standardize repeated patterns such as metadata, links, or shared content blocks
