You can manage your document board using blocks. Blocks add text, images, videos, tables, lists, code snippets, and more to your document. They can be easily rearranged, edited, and deleted to create a visually appealing and informative document. You can add a block to the text space of the document to get the desired outcome on the page.
What is a block in a document?
Blocks are the format options you can use to give a look and feel to your document. A plain document with simple text does not appeal to the user; instead, you can use different blocks to make the document look clearer and easier to understand. Every piece of content you add to the document is a block.
For example, a heading is a block that can be used to distinguish different sections of the document. A paragraph block is used for writing text, while an image block is used for adding images.
There are different types of block/ formatting options:
- Simple text
- Heading levels
- Bullet lists
- Numbered lists
- Checklist
- Quote
- Code
- Image
- Collapse
- Files
- Video
- Audio
- Embed URL
- Embed Tweet
- Embed YouTube Video
- Embed Figma document
You can rearrange the position of the blocks and move them up or down. You can delete, and duplicate a block. You also have an option to change an existing style to a new style using the Convert to option.
