Using Content Blocks

Content Foundry provides a wide range of specialised block types covering layout, data, decisions, requirements, diagrams and more, designed for enterprise architecture documentation. There are three ways to add blocks to your pages: browsing by category, searching within the Add Block panel, or using the command palette.

Adding Blocks via the Block Panel

The Add Block panel provides category browsing and fuzzy search across all block types.

Adding Blocks via the Command Palette

The command palette provides the fastest way to add a specific block type when you already know what you need.
