Blocks can Transform
Any block in Notion can be turned into any other type of block in order to use, view, or deepen that information in a new way.
You can try this by clicking the :: Symbol to the left of a block, which we call a “block handle.” In the corresponding menu, choose Turn into and convert your block to something else!.
Blocks can be rearranged
The same :: block handle can be used to drag and drop existing blocks making it simple to rearrange, reorder and reshape your thoughts.
A tool to build your own tools
Notion is as lightweight or as powerful as you need it to be, and blocks enable you to build the perfect tool - exactly the way you want.
