A Title block defines the main heading of a page. Once you add a Title block to your page, click it to replace the placeholder text with your own content. A Title looks the same as a Heading, but it is always rendered as an H1. This ensures clear page structure and supports accessibility. You can choose between the three title sizes: big, medium, and small. You can also use the other text formatting options in the contextual toolbar . Use the Title block only for the main heading of the page. Use Heading blocks (H2–H4) to structure the remaining content. A page can have only one title, so the duplicate option is not available for this block.

The Text block allows you to add and format text on your page. It combines headings and paragraphs in a single block, allowing you to structure and format content flexibly.
