Blocks in Timebook
In Timebook, Blocks are customizable elements that help you manage and present the content of your Pages. There are several types of Blocks, each serving a different purpose.
You can use Blocks to format text, as you would in other popular text editors. But you can also add visual aids to your Pages using different media or reference content from external sources. And you can also use Widgets, which are Timebook-specific Blocks that help you present .
Add & edit Blocks
When you open an empty Page, you can start typing immediately; this creates a new text Block at the top of the Page. But you can also add different types of Blocks.
To add a Block:
Press the [+] button inside the left margin of the Page.
Select the type of Block you want to add from the list.
The selected Block becomes a new section on your Page, with its own "handle" that you can use to edit the Block later.
NOTE: You can also type "/" to see the complete list of Block types. If you continue typing, you will see only the Block types whose names match your input.
Images (and most types of files in general) can be added to a Page from your device using the drag-and-drop functionality.
Move Blocks around
Blocks are containers that hold your content. You can fill them with relevant data, such as text, Work Items, files, and more. You can also move the Blocks around to change the structure of your Page.
You can grab the handle of a Block to drag and drop it to a new location. Pressing the handle also allows you to perform some additional actions:
[Insert above] lets you add a new Block directly above the one you are currently editing.
[Insert below] lets you add a new Block directly below the one you are currently editing.
[Duplicate] creates an identical copy of the Block you are currently editing.
[Delete] removes the Block from the Page.
You can select multiple Blocks to copy and paste them all at once using standard keyboard shortcuts.
Available Block types
Timebook comes with many Blocks to choose from, so you can manage your content in any way you like. Timebook Blocks can be divided into several main types. See the dedicated sections below to learn more about your options.
You can boost the page content even further using the # key on your keyboard.
When editing pages (and most Timebook text fields), use the # key to enable the search console. You can then browse for a specific object from the entire Timebook Workplace. Once you select the object, we will automatically create a link to it.
This feature gives you a powerful tool for creating cross-references and improving navigation between your page and different Timebook objects.
