Add section blocks

After creating a project, open the project and ensure the right-hand side panel is visible. If it isn’t, toggle it open using the arrow in the top right of the canvas. At the top of the panel, see a section titled “Create Blocks”.

If you are on web, click and drag the block titled “Section”. The areas where the section block is allowed to be dropped will be highlighted in blue. Drag the section block over this blue area and drop the block. The section block will now appear on your project canvas.

If you are on mobile, tap the block titled “Section”. On mobile, this will automatically hide the right-hand side menu, revealing the canvas. Tap any blue area on the canvas to place the new section block.

Add title to section blocks

To get the full potential of the section block, you can add a title for the section. Once you have added a section to the project canvas, click the pen icon. This will allow you to enter a title for the section. When you are happy with the changes, click “Confirm” — on smaller screens this will simply be a checkmark. Only after you have clicked “Confirm”, will the changes save to the canvas.

Move and nest section blocks

You are also able to move section blocks that are already on the canvas.

On web, click the ⋮⋮ icon (column of six dots) in the top left-hand corner of the block, and use as a handle to drag the block around the canvas. You are allowed to place the block in any of the highlighted blue spaces that appear when you start dragging.

On mobile, select the block to move by tapping the ⋮⋮ icon (six dots at the top left-hand corner of the block). Then, select the space to drop the block by tapping on any blue highlighted area that appears when a block is selected to move.

Restrictions

If a blue space doesn’t appear where you want to drop the block, it means you are not allowed to drop this type of block here. You are only allowed to nest up to two section blocks, and you will therefore not be allowed to drop a section block inside two nested sections.

Copy section blocks

If you would like to duplicate a section, click the button in the top right-hand side of the section block that contains the icon with two blocks laid on top of one another. This will copy your section block and its content, and insert it just below the original block.

Delete section blocks

To delete a section block, in the top right-hand side of the block you want to delete, click the button containing the rubbish bin. Please note this action cannot be undone.

Collapsing section blocks

To collapse a section, click the arrow in the top right of the block. To show the entire section block again, click the arrow again to show its contents.

Sections in the generated document

The sections created in the project canvas will show as a headings in the generated document. These headings will also be used to generate a table of contents for the generated document.
