Add Block allows you to add a variety of content like text, media, section breaks, and more to your syllabus. Once you have added a block to your syllabus, you will have the ability to edit or configure that block, reorder it on the page, copy it, or delete it. Once you have added a block, you can begin editing it immediately, or simply click outside of the block to leave its edit mode.

Here are types of blocks you can add to your syllabus:
 

• Section Title: Simple text block useful for breaking the page into labeled sections
