I. Intro
A block is a unit for managing content in Docs. Blocks allow you to treat words, sentences, paragraphs, and other content as a single unit. This allows you to copy, paste, move, edit, and format all content in a block at once.
When you hover over a block, a ⋮⋮ icon will appear on the left. Blocks can be headings, paragraphs, items on a list, tasks, code blocks, callouts, sync blocks, tables, bases, images, audio, videos, cards, or other content.
