Insert document blocks fast

Type / anywhere — Wiki, task descriptions — to add the block you need.

about 7 min Updated October 13, 2026

The basics

Typing / on an empty line opens the block menu. Keep typing to narrow it down by name, then insert with ↑↓ and Enter.
1

Type a slash (/)

/

Type / on an empty line (or at the end of a line) and the block menu opens, grouped by category.

TIPThe menu does not open inside a code block. If you turn off 'Open slash menu automatically' in Settings, typing / no longer opens the menu on its own.
2

Narrow it with keywords

With the menu open, keep typing an English or Korean keyword and only matching blocks remain — for example /table, /code, /panel.

3

Choose with arrow keys and Enter

↑↓ to move, Enter to insert. Esc, or a click on empty space, closes the menu.

TIPEach item shows a one-line description of the block under its name.
4

Block handles and folding headings

Drag the ⋮⋮ handle to the left of a block to reorder it, or click it to open a menu with Copy, Cut, Duplicate, Copy block link, Move up/down, and Delete. Click the ▸ button to the left of a heading (H1–H4) to fold the section under it, and click again to unfold.

TIPFolding only applies on your own screen and is not saved in the document, so the sections unfold again after a refresh.

Basic blocks (the 10 you'll use most)

  • Headings H1, H2, H3 — /h1, /h2, /h3
  • Bullet and numbered lists — /bullet, /number
  • Checklist — /todo, /check, /task
  • Quote — /quote
  • Divider — /divider, /hr, or type --- to convert it automatically
  • Code block — /code (choose a language for syntax highlighting, plus a copy button)
  • Callout (panel) — /panel, /callout (4 kinds: info, warning, success, danger — click the icon to change the kind)
  • Toggle — /toggle (a section that collapses and expands)
  • Column layout — /columns, /2 columns, /3 columns, /4 columns (split into 2 to 4 columns)
  • Date — /date (today's date, select a date, or date + time)

Table — the new grid picker

1

/table

Pick Table in the menu and an 8 × 10 Notion-style grid picker opens in a popover.

TIPThe table icon in the body toolbar opens the same picker — you can get there without the slash menu.
2

Hover rows and columns, then click

Move the pointer to the rows × columns you want, check the highlighted area, and click or press Enter to insert. Arrow keys (↑↓←→) size it precisely too, and Esc cancels.

3

A contextual toolbar when you enter a cell

Click any cell in the inserted table and a floating toolbar appears above it, holding 12 actions in one place — add and remove rows and columns, toggle the header, merge and split cells, distribute column widths evenly, and delete the whole table. Deleting the whole table asks for confirmation, and ⌘Z brings it back.

NOTEIt disappears on its own once you move away from that area.
4

Resize columns, rows, and the table with the mouse

Hover over a table and thin bars appear above the columns and to the left of the rows. Click a bar to select the whole column or row, and use the ⊕ button to add a column to the right or a row below. Drag a border between columns and the neighboring column moves with it, so the table's total width stays the same (dragging the last column widens the whole table). The handle at the table's right edge resizes the whole table, and a row's bottom border resizes its height.

TIPA width you set by hand stays fixed. 'Distribute column widths evenly' in the table toolbar splits the columns evenly across the available width again. A table you haven't touched keeps its columns proportional when the page width or window size changes.

Media and embeds

  • Image — drag and drop, paste, or upload with the image button in the toolbar (originals up to 20MB); /image is for entering an image address (URL). Resizing, captions, and full-width paste are supported
  • Files and video — /file, or drag and drop. A single file can be up to 20MB on Free and 50MB on the paid plans (Storage 20GB, Storage 100GB, and Lifetime), and mp4, webm, and mov videos play right in the document
  • YouTube — /youtube, then enter a YouTube link to embed it (YouTube links only)
  • Figma — /figma, then enter a share link to embed it as an iframe (Wiki only)
  • draw.io — /diagram, an inline diagram editor (Wiki only)
  • Mermaid — /mermaid, text to chart (sequence, flow, Gantt, and more; Wiki only)
  • LaTeX math — /formula, /math
  • Link card — paste a URL on its own for a preview card with a favicon and title; pasted mid-sentence it becomes an inline chip. Turn it off with 'Auto-expand link cards' in Settings
  • Meet booking card — /meet, then paste the public booking address from Meet to take bookings right in the document
  • Google Drive file — /drive, pick a file from Drive and embed it as a card

Wiki only — linking pages

1

[[Page name]] wiki links

Two square brackets open a page search popover. Pages and tasks are searched together, and what you pick is inserted as a page mention chip.

NOTEStart with T- or # to search tasks only.
2

Mentions

@ is for teammates, [[ is for pages and tasks. Each has an autocomplete popover for picking quickly.

3

/page list

A dynamic page-list block with scope (subpages, top level, all, starred, recent), view, sort, and filter. /subpage finds it too. Behaves like Notion's page list.

4

/toc (Contents)

An automatic table of contents from H1 to H3 on the current page. Scroll sync plus click to jump.

5

/page link and /create a new page

'Page link' picks a page in this project and inserts a link to it. 'Create a new page' makes a new page under the current one and inserts the link to it into the body right away.

Data and tasks

  • /database — put a database in the document: create a 'New database' or connect one you already made with 'Load an existing database' (table, board, gallery, list, calendar, timeline, form, and chart views; Wiki only)
  • /properties (Wiki only) — write page metadata as key-value fields such as date and tags (properties in Notion)
  • Block link — choose 'Copy block link' in the block handle menu and the paragraph gets an ID and [[Page title#^ID]] is copied, so another page can link straight to that paragraph
  • /ai — Continue writing, AI auto-write, AI improve writing, and Action items → tasks. They only appear on plans that can use AI (see the 'Using the writing assistant' guide)

No recursion inside Peek

When you edit inside a page Peek (the side panel), the 'Page list' block is left out of the slash menu automatically, which stops the same list from being nested inside the preview endlessly.
