We refer to the terms: Documents, Pages, and Blocks, a lot across Craft. So, let's clarify what they mean.
- Every paragraph in Craft is a Block. And every block can have its own content. So in other words, a paragraph is both a piece of text on a page and can act as the title of a deeper page, allowing you to create a simple structure.
Moving blocks between Documents and Pages
You can cut and paste blocks the regular way to reorganize your content. In the Mac app, you can open two separate Craft windows as well and simply drag and drop blocks within the same Space.
- Blocks, which have content, are called Pages. They can be styled the same way as any regular block, and if you click on them, you navigate inside them. There's also a “Page“ text style option for blocks, which - along with the Card style - is a great fit for Pages.
- Documents are simply documents! These work almost exactly the same way as all digital files do. You can "star" them, move them into folders, sort them, and so on.
Important: Pages (Documents within Documents) are treated as blocks and will not go to the Recently Deleted folder. You can try to recover them with an undo action or by restoring an earlier version of the document where the page was in. Read more in: I deleted my Folder, Document, or Data, what can I do?
Grouping blocks into a Page
On macOS, simply highlight the desired list of blocks, right-click on the list - or use the Cmd + G shortcut - and then select the "Group" option.
On iOS, you can use the swipe motion to select the blocks and then select the "Group" action.
Craft is designed to be easy to use. Just start writing in Craft as normal and whenever you feel you need a bit more structure or your document is getting too long, you’ll intuitively get how Pages work.
