Command palette

You can invoke the command palette for adding a block with the cursor in an empty paragraph in two ways:

1. Hitting the keyboard shortcut, which is / on both Mac and PC.

2. Clicking ➕ using your mouse. The icon appears in the left margin of the paragraph that has the current focus.

Exiting a block

Some content blocks capture the editing cursor to allow you to add content in the context of that block. When you are done, you can continue adding new content to the page either by inserting a new paragraph below or above the content block, or by hitting command + enter on a Mac or control + enter on a PC.

The example below shows how to exit a quote content block:

New: Full-width blocks 🎉

By making your blocks full-width, you can create a clear visual hierarchy in your content. This is perfect for giving images and tables more space to breathe, but it looks great with a whole range of block types:

• Cards

• Tables

• Code Blocks

• Integrations

• API Blocks

• Image blocks

Convert a block to full width:

1. Insert a block into your page

2. Click on icon next to your block and select full width

Text blocks such as paragraphs are not possible to convert to full width. If you do not see the option to convert your block, it is likely not included on the list of compatible blocks above.
