Understanding block types in Publishing

Basic blocks

Block name	Content to be added
Button	Create a button and attach a hyperlink to it. Selecting the Open link in new tab only applies when someone is using Church Center in a web browser.
Contact	Add email, phone, or website contact information so congregants can reach your church.
Divider	Add a horizontal line to divide sections of your page.
Event schedule	Add a day, time, and description of an event.
Grid	Add multiple items, such as buttons and images with hyperlinks and texts, and display them in a grid with up to three columns. You can adjust the number of columns based on mobile and desktop views. It's recommended to have no more than 12 items per block. Any content added to an item will show on the published page.
Image	Add an image from your device, images you've previously used, or the Unsplash integration. Check out the image sizing guide to ensure your image is the correct size and file type. Attach a hyperlink to the image to use it as a button. Selecting the Open link in new tab only applies when someone is using the Church Center web pages and not the app.
Location	Add a street address or latitude and longitude with the option to display a map.
Section header	Add a header for a section of your page. You can add a background image, button, and text.
Social	Add a link to your church's Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, or Youtube page.
Text	Add text with standard formatting options.
Video	Add a URL or embed code to a video hosted on YouTube, Vimeo, Resi, or Boxcast.

Add content from Planning Center products to your custom pages. A page can hold one content block for each product.
