What is a Heading block?
A Heading block is a title line (H1, H2, or H3) that introduces a section of the email. It is still live text, so recipients can select it and it scales with their inbox.
Use Heading for the email title and section titles. Use Text for paragraphs underneath. Use Graphic Text only when you need a display font or baked-in outline that live type cannot do.
How to add
- Open the Blocks tab in the left sidebar.
- Drag Heading into a column on the canvas.
- Click the block to edit its content and properties.
