Every block

This is the lookup. Every block coursekit ships with, grouped by the category they appear under in the slash menu and the right rail. Names and descriptions come straight from the editor.

If you’re trying to remember what a block is called, search this page (Cmd+F / Ctrl+F). If you’re trying to learn how to author with a block, the other docs chapters cover the gestures and settings.

Structure

The grid block isn’t in the slash menu under a category — it shows up when you drag a block next to another, or when you ask for it directly.

• Grid — Row of cells, each holding its own blocks. Up to six columns. See Columns and grid.
