In this video we are going to show you how to navigate through the block-based editing system on your cutheme Website:

First off, we are going to be opening the block editor

There are two ways you can access this, creating a new post or page, or editing an existing one.

For this video we are going to access the editor using an existing page, and to do that you must log in to your website, navigate to the page or post that you want to edit, then click on the edit button  to open the editor.

Next up we are going to edit a page or a post.

Now that we are in the block editor, you can see that the contents are sorted into what you call blocks.

To edit existing blocks, you can click on the one that you want to edit, and from there its going to depend on the block that you want to modify, but you can do stuff like edit text, images, videos and other elements.

When you click on a block, you may notice that there is a toolbar that appears above the block, you can use this bar to format text, add links or quickly change some settings for that block.

Now we are going to add new blocks.

To do that navigate to the top right portion of the editor, you will see a plus button, click that to open the tab for new blocks.

Click on the type of block that you want to add, it should then appear in the page

Now that we have added the new block, suppose we want it somewhere else on the page.

To move a block, click on it, and on the toolbar that appears, you can either use the up and down arrows or use the drag button to rearrange the block.

To customize more settings about the block, you can do so under the block settings tab at the right.

On this tab you can explore also block specific options such as alignments, adding headers, adding alt text to images or sorting content within the block.

Now that we have completed editing a page, all there is to do is to double check your work, then we can save.

To save your changes, click on the Update button on the top.
