Build content with components

The Document Builder centers on components. A component is a self-contained block with its own data, properties, and formatting. You add components to the canvas and arrange them into a finished document.

Add a component

There are two ways to insert a component:

1. Slash command. Click any Click to add content area, type /, then type the component name. Press Enter to insert it.
2. Component library. Use the Components tab in the left panel, pick a category, and click a component.

The library groups components into eight categories:

Category	Purpose
Content	Writing, media, and presentation blocks: Callout, Divider, Heading, Image, List, Paragraph, Rich Text
Layout	Page Break and Section Break for page boundaries, paper size and orientation
Reference	Tables, glossaries, definitions, and supporting blocks: Acronyms, Definitions, Document Info, Glossary, Key-Value List, Table, Table of Contents, Version History
Requirements	Structured requirement capture: Acceptance Criteria Matrix, Data Requirements, Functional Requirements, Interfaces, Non-Functional Requirements, User Stories
Analysis	Stakeholders and system context: Stakeholders, System Context
Integration	Embedded reports and diagrams: Dashboard / Report, Data Hub Embedding, Flowchart
Math	Equations, matrices, theorems, algorithms, and proof environments
Science	Research components including Abstract, Appendix, Bibliography, Chemical Equation, Citation, Figure, Hypothesis, Methodology, Scientific Graph, Statistical Analysis, and Unit Converter

Edit and reorder

Click a component to edit its content directly on the canvas. Drag the handle at the top of a component to move it. The right panel then shows that component’s properties, including grid width, sequence numbering, nest level, and linked artifacts.

Layout breaks use full-width markers. Select a Section Break to edit its break type and page layout; ordinary width, title and nesting controls do not apply. See Layout and page breaks.

Delete a component

Hover over a component and click the Delete Component button in its toolbar. Confirm the deletion in the dialog.

Once the blocks are in place

Once the blocks are in place, Organize and navigate with the outline helps you put them in order. Use reference components adds glossaries and a table of contents, and Design a document sets how all of it looks.
