Add and arrange blocks
Add blocks, change their order, copy, hide and delete them.
A DoorStep page is a stack of blocks, read from top to bottom. A block might be a photo with a title, a row of buttons, a list of small groups or a connect card. You’ll find them all in the Blocks tab.
Add a block #
- Click + Add blockIt’s at the top and bottom of the Blocks tab.
- Pick a kindEach one has a short description. Not sure? See Every block, explained.
- Fill it inThe new block goes at the bottom of the page and opens so you can fill it in. The preview scrolls to it and flashes it.
Edit a block #
Click a block’s name in the list to open its settings, and click it again to close it. Expand all and Collapse all open or close every block at once. You can also click 🎯 Tap to edit above the preview and tap the block on the page.
Settings you’ll use less often are folded into groups like More options. Small i buttons explain a setting when you hover or tap them.
Move, copy, hide and delete #
Each block’s row has these buttons on the right:
| Button | Does |
|---|---|
| ⠿ (on the left) | Drag it to move the block anywhere in the list. |
| ↑ ↓ | Move the block up or down one place. |
| ⧉ | Duplicate. The copy goes right below. |
| 👁 / 🚫 | Hide or show the block without deleting it. Handy for things you use every few weeks, like a baptism sign-up. |
| ✕ | Delete the block. Undo ↶ brings it back. |
Hiding is per special time. With special times set up, 👁 hides a block only in the tab you’re looking at, and the block’s row says where it shows, like “Only: Chapel”.
Lists inside a block #
Many blocks hold a list: buttons in a Buttons block, cards in a Card row, questions in a Connect card. Each item has the same tools in a smaller size: ↑ ↓ to reorder, ⧉ to copy, ✕ to delete, and + Add at the end of the list. Click an item to open it.
Text and colors in a block #
Most titles and text boxes let you make words bold, italic, linked or colored. See Format text. Colors, corners and spacing come from the Theme, so every block matches. If you need one block to look different, turn on Advanced editing.
