Text block
Content
The text block is Markdown on the canvas: instructions, section intros, checklists, links. On record pages it becomes dynamic — {{Column}}placeholders render the current record's values inline.
When to use it
- Instructions and context around your data blocks — the difference between a screen and a tool.
- Dynamic summaries on record pages:
# Order {{Order number}}. - Link hubs pointing at other systems.
Settings
| Setting | Options | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Content | Markdown | The text, up to 8,000 characters. Supports Markdown formatting and {{Column}} templates on record pages. |
| Alignment | left / center / right | Text alignment inside the block. |
Content blocks issue no data requests — a page full of text, images, and separators renders instantly. Templates are resolved from the record the page already loaded.
Like every block, this one also has the shared block settings: a title and optional description, a header you can show or hide, auto-height, conditional visibility, and role-based visibility.
