Rich Text block

Add beautiful, structured content to your spaces! Whether you’re building an engaging welcome page, curating resources, or sharing community updates, the Rich Text Block helps you bring it all to life.

It uses the same intuitive content field members already know from composing posts. You can format text, upload files, embed media, and structure your content with tables and a Table of Contents — all directly embedded into your space.

If you're looking to add a flexible, content-rich section to any space or custom page, this is the block to use.
