App Block ID

Most block types such as checkout upsell and custom fields have the option to specify an app block ID. By default, dynamic is selected. An app block ID allows for showing different blocks of the same type in different sections of checkout. For example: say you want to show a required checkbox (custom field) in the main content area but an optional gift note (custom field) in the sidebar, one can be set to the app block ID: 1 and the other: 2. You can think of the checkout app blocks as containers which can load in multiple blocks depending on any display rules you configured within Checkout Blocks.
