Add, move, or remove a block

Short answer

On a full page, the + at a block’s edge adds a block, and the tools beside a selected block move, copy or delete it. An inline form and a link-in-bio page can only reorder their blocks.

When you’re done, the form has the blocks you want, in your order.

A block is one band of the form: a headline and intro, the sign-up fields, a list of links, the fine print. What you can do with one depends on the kind of form.

Kind Add Move Copy or delete
Full page Yes Yes Yes
Inline form No Yes No
Link-in-bio page No Yes No
Pop-up No No No

Select and move a block

Select any part of the block, then press Esc. An outline runs around the whole block and a column of tools stands beside it. Point at each to see its name: Move up, Move down, Duplicate and Delete block.

Duplicate or delete a block on a full page

Duplicate puts a copy right below the block and selects it.

The keyboard works too: select the block and press ⌘C (Ctrl+C on Windows), then select the block you want it below and press ⌘V (Ctrl+V).

The copy stays ready while this tab is open, so it can go on another page you open here. A block copied from an email can’t go in a form, and Jounce says so. One Undo takes a paste back.

Delete block removes the block. So does pressing Delete while the whole block is selected. Jounce says Block deleted. and offers Undo for a moment. Undo in the top bar brings it back later.

A page keeps at least one block of sign-up fields. With two, a field you switch on or off changes in both, and Elements says Both sign-ups above the switches.
