This article explains how to use the title, paragraph, and list blocks in the drag and drop editor.

In the drag and drop editor, there are three types of text blocks: title, paragraph, and list. These three blocks function similarly, but allow you to neatly divide your copy into discreet sections for easier formatting.

Adding Text Blocks

1. Navigate to your Campaigns tab.
2. Open a saved drag and drop draft or click on the Create new campaign button to create a new campaign from scratch.
3. Click on the Title, Paragraph, or List block in the right panel and drag it to the desired location in your mailing.
4. Click on the block to open the Content Properties panel and the blue text toolbar.

Ⓘ	Info
	If you are working in a title block, the Content Properties panel will show "Title Properties" at the top. Likewise, when working in a paragraph or list block, it will show "Paragraph Properties" or List Properties".

Editing Text

To edit the copy in any of the text blocks, simply place your cursor inside the block and begin typing. The block settings and text formatting are controlled in two places. First, there's the blue text toolbar that is usually located just above or below the block. Second, there is the Content Properties panel, which is found on the right side of the editor.

☑	Tip
	The text toolbar is typically best used to edit individual words or small phrases of text within the block. While the Content Properties panel is best used for defining settings for the whole block.

Text Toolbar

The blue text toolbar appears when the block is selected and typically hovers slightly above or below the block itself. It is not located in the panel on the right. Starting from the top left, the text toolbar contains the following functions:
