Block Editor Overview

Block style editing has arrived in Herald! This is a significant new feature that will greatly improve the page creation and editing experience for Herald editors.

Block Pages

Block pages are created using the block editor. You can start with a blank canvas or one of 8 pre-designed layouts.

Page Layouts

Layouts are collections of pre-selected blocks that the Church Plant Media team has designed to help you quickly create great looking pages.

We've created 8 initial layouts with many more to come in the very near future.

Blank Canvas

A blank layout is just what it sounds like: you start with a blank editing screen and can select from over 20 block types that range from text and image to columns, event listings and a sermon audio player. The choice is yours.

Creating a Block Page

Click the New Page button just like before and you'll see a card with pre-designed layouts to choose from. You can also click the Blank Page button to start with a fresh, clean canvas.

Block Toolbar

Every block has a toolbar menu that you can access by hovering over the block. It will appear in the top right corner of the block.

Button	Description
