Block types reference

Heading adds a section title at level H2, H3 or H4. Paragraph is the block for body copy, with a toolbar for bold, italic, underline, links and bulleted and numbered lists.

Callout is a highlighted box in four styles: info (blue), warning (amber), success (green) and tip (blue, with a lightbulb). Quote shows a pull quote with an optional attribution. Numbered List is for ordered steps, Table for rows and columns of data, Stat / Numbers for large figures with labels, and Citations for a numbered reference list.

Two Column places two rich-text columns side by side; choose the split ratio in the block. Cover Slide is a title panel with a background image or gradient, suited to lesson openers. Divider draws a horizontal rule and Spacer adds adjustable vertical space.

Button / CTA is a styled button that links to a URL, for sending learners to a resource outside the course.

Image takes an upload, a file from your media library, or a URL. Set alt text, alignment and a caption. Gallery shows several images in a grid with a choice of column count and an optional lightbox.

Video can link a YouTube, Vimeo or direct MP4 URL, upload through your org's streaming provider, upload a file directly, or reuse a file from the library; see Adding video. Audio plays an uploaded, library or linked audio file. Embed shows another site's content (YouTube, Loom, Figma or any URL) in the lesson.

Text to Speech reads the text you type into the block aloud using the learner's browser voices, with a play button. It is a convenience for learners, not a replacement for accessible text.

Accordion collapses content into expandable sections. Tabs splits content into tabbed panels. Flashcard flips between a front and back, for terms and quick recall without scoring. Timeline lays out dated events, and Process Steps shows a numbered sequence of steps.

Hotspot places clickable markers on an image; each opens a title and description. Labeled Graphic adds labeled callouts on top of an image. Both have an alt text field for screen readers. Scenario is a character dialogue with choices for the learner. Continue Button is a pause point: when a learner clicks it, it shows a short message you write (for example, "You may now continue to the next section"). It does not hide the content below it.

Custom interaction runs your own HTML, CSS and JavaScript in a sandboxed frame inside the lesson, for anything the other blocks don't do. It has no network access, and it can report a score that counts toward the lesson. See Custom interactions for how to build one.

These seven blocks are graded and count toward the lesson score:

• Multiple Choice: one correct answer, up to six options. For a true/false question, choose True / False in the block picker: it adds a Multiple Choice with the options True and False already filled in, True marked correct.
• Multi-Select: select all that apply.
• Fill in Blank: learners type the missing words. Each blank can accept several answers, and matching ignores case unless you tick case-sensitive.
• Matching: pair items from two lists.
• Sortable: put items in the right order.
• Hotspot Question: choose the right area of a picture.
• Categorize: sort items into groups.

Reflection asks learners to answer in their own words and is not marked. See Building quizzes and assessments for how scoring works.
