What blocks are

Blocks are the individual sections that make up a landing page — a heading, a paragraph, a gallery, a form. You add them from the left sidebar, drag to reorder, and edit each one’s content and appearance in the right-hand inspector. Every block has a Content tab for its data (text, images, links). Most blocks also have a Design tab for per-block style overrides, and an Event Tracking tab for click/conversion tracking.
Most card-based blocks share the same four Design-tab controls — Appearance (Card / Full width), Card Background, Card Surface, and Shadow — plus a Transparent background switch. Rather than repeating this on every block below, see Design Options for what each control does. If a block has no Design tab at all (for example Footer or Menu), it has no style overrides to set.

Adding a block

  1. Click + Add at the top of the Blocks list in the left sidebar.
  2. The Add a block picker opens, showing every block available for the current page type — filter by category tab, or search by name.
  3. Click a block’s card to add it to the bottom of the page.
Add a block picker open in the page builder, showing category tabs and Content-category block cards including GS1 Product Info and Hero Section

The Add a block picker on a blank page, showing the Content category and its category tabs (All, Content, Media, Social, Interaction, Layout)

The picker’s tabs — All, Content, Media, Social, Interaction, Layout — are the categories used below. A blank/general page offers 17 blocks; picking a category-specific template (Restaurant, Wedding, Real Estate, Business Card, Feedback, Audio, Document, Image) unlocks additional blocks scoped to that category, noted individually below.

Content blocks

Text, branding, and profile blocks that make up the core information on a page.
Hero Section was previously called “Page Header” in older documentation. The block type slug (page_header) is unchanged, but the on-screen label is now Hero Section.

Media blocks

Images, video, audio, and downloadable files.

Social blocks

Ways for visitors to follow or share your page.

Interaction blocks

Blocks that let visitors take action — fill in a form, redeem a coupon, or leave a review.
The Button block’s link type options are URL, Email, Phone, SMS, and QR code. The “QR code” option links to a different QR code’s own landing page — it doesn’t create in-page navigation between pages of the same multi-page site.

Layout blocks

Structural elements that control page flow, spacing, and advanced behavior.

Reordering blocks

Drag the grip handle on any block card in the left sidebar to move it to a new position. The canvas updates in real time.

Deleting a block

Select a block on the canvas or in the left sidebar, then click the trash icon in the block card header. Most blocks can be deleted freely — including Page Title and Coupon Details, despite older documentation claiming otherwise. A small number of blocks that anchor a specific page type still can’t be deleted: Audio Player (on Audio pages), Logo Section (on Feedback pages), Menu (on Restaurant pages), and Agent Profile (on Real Estate pages).

Copying and pasting a block

Select a block and press Cmd/Ctrl+C to copy it. Press Cmd/Ctrl+V to paste a copy below the current selection. Pasted blocks keep the same content and design settings as the original.
  • Design options — the per-block Design tab controls referenced throughout this page.
  • Animated effects — the Card Effect and Button Effect options available on card and button blocks.
  • Page types — which page type unlocks which category-specific blocks.
  • Building a form — configuring the Custom Form block’s questions in the dedicated form builder.
