Blocks

Blocks are the individual content sections that pages are made from. Each block is a self-contained piece of content with a specific layout — a full-width banner, a column of text, a grid of cards, a call to action. When you edit a page, you are arranging and configuring blocks.

Different block types have different fields. A hero block might have a heading, a subheading, and a button. A card grid block has a set of cards, each with a title, image, and short description. The fields available depend on the block type you choose when adding it to a page.

Blocks can be reordered within a page by dragging them. They can also be edited directly from within the page, so you do not need to navigate away to change the content of a section.
