Creating and managing pages, blocks, and text in Pivot allows for flexible content organization and collaboration. Whether you’re building hierarchical page structures, customizing blocks, or formatting text for clarity and emphasis, Pivot provides robust tools to streamline your workflow. This guide covers the essential features, including creating pages, block actions, heading styles, and text block functionalities.

Block Actions
Blocks come with a variety of actions to help you manage and customize your content effectively.
