Blocks in a page
Every block type a page can hold — text, lists, media, embeds, layout, live data, and interactive blocks.
A page is a stack of blocks. Type / anywhere to open the block menu, or
use the + handle in the left margin. Drag the ⠿ handle to move a block;
drag it beside another block to make columns.

Live data
These pull real workspace data into the page, and stay current.

| Live text | Text with values interpolated from data or controls |
| Dashboard tabs | Splits a surface into tabs |
| Repeat | Renders its children once per record in a set |
Moving and nesting
- Drag the ⠿ handle to reorder.
- Drag a block onto another block’s left or right edge to create columns.
- Toggles and columns can contain other blocks; most other blocks cannot nest.
- Select several blocks and drag them as a group.
