Adding and editing blocks

The block types you can add today, and how to edit them.

The Content tab centers on a live preview of your actual page. To add a block, click "Add block" below your last block. It opens a picker with every block type you can currently add: Button, Heading, Text, YouTube video, Vimeo, Spotify, SoundCloud, Google Maps embed, Calendly, SavvyCal, and Email signup.

A collection is the one exception — add one from the "Add collection" button, right beside "Add block" below your last block. A collection is a group of items (each one its own small button/link) that displays either as a list or a grid, toggled from the collection itself. Collections are useful for grouping several related links together instead of listing them all individually.

Editing a block

Click directly on a block in the page preview to open its editing view, where you can change its fields (a button’s label and URL, a heading’s text, an embed’s URL, and so on) — on desktop it opens beside the preview, on a phone it opens as a sheet you can swipe away. Whatever you change previews live before you save it.

Your edits save on their own as you make them. If a field can’t be saved — a button with no text, a URL that isn’t a full web address — a message under it explains what’s needed, and that one field stops saving until it’s fixed. Everything else you change keeps saving as normal, and a small warning marker appears on that block in the preview until nothing is outstanding.

Reordering and deleting

Reordering happens in Arrange — a separate view (open it with "Arrange blocks" in Content’s side panel when nothing is selected) built for drag-and-drop, listing every block on the current page. Drag a block there to reorder it, either among your other top-level blocks or among the items inside one collection. To delete a block or a collection item, use the Delete button at the bottom of its editor, or its options menu in Arrange — either way you’ll be asked to confirm first. Deleting a whole collection removes every item inside it.
