Learn how to add text, media and interactive blocks to a lesson, and which block to use when.

An Editor cell is your lesson page. Everything on it is a block: a paragraph, a heading, an image, a callout, a set of flip boxes. You add blocks one at a time, in the order learners will read them, and the page saves as you go.

How to add a block

  1. Open your Beeline in the builder and select the Editor cell you want to work on in the Structure panel.
  2. Click on a new line and type / to open the block menu. You can also hover next to any block and select the + that appears.
  3. Type to search, or scroll the list. Blocks are grouped under Learning flow, Blocks and Inline.
  4. Select a block. Text blocks are ready to type into straight away.
  5. A media block starts empty. Click it, then choose Upload to add a file from your computer. Images can also be found with Unsplash Search, and a Video block has an Embed tab for YouTube and Vimeo links.
  6. Blocks like Accordion, Flip Boxes and Comparison open a small editor where you add each item. Fill them in, then close the editor to see the block on the page.

How to move, change or remove a block

Hover over any block and a handle appears to its left.

Which block to use

Block Use it for
Text, Heading 1, Heading 2, Bulleted List, Numbered List Your core content. Short paragraphs, clear headings and lists for scanning.
Quote A key statement to remember, or a definition worth setting apart.
Callout One idea you want to stand out. Choose a style: Note, Tip, Warning, Danger, Common mistake, Think about this or Did you know?
Divider A visual break between ideas, or before your closing line.
Image, Image Columns Photos, diagrams and infographics. Image Columns puts two or three side by side.
Hotspot Image A photo or diagram with tappable labels, for equipment, layouts or screens.
Video, Loom Upload your own video, embed from YouTube or Vimeo, or embed a Loom recording.
Audio An uploaded audio file. For narration, use the Voiceover Generator below instead.
PDF, File, Button, Web Bookmark A downloadable document, a link to an external resource, or a bookmark card for a web page.
Accordion Reveal-on-tap sections for FAQs, definitions or steps. Keep it to a few items so it reads well on a phone.
Tabs Content split into a few named tabs, for example one per role or per location.
Flip Boxes Tap-to-reveal cards for term and definition, or question and answer. Four or fewer per lesson works best on mobile.
Comparison Two approaches side by side: Good vs Bad, Do vs Don't.
Timeline A process or sequence shown step by step.
Table Structured rows and columns for specs, contacts or troubleshooting.

The Learning flow group holds quick checks you can place inside a lesson, such as Multiple choice, Flashcard and Acknowledgment. For a graded quiz with a pass mark, use an Assessment cell instead.
