Adding and moving blocks
The block chooser, slash menu, and drag handles are part of Inka and look the same everywhere. What you can pick from those choosers — the list of block types — comes from your site's design system. One site might offer "Lead paragraph", "Pull quote", "Stat highlight"; another might just have "Text" and "Image". Mechanic is identical.
Containers
A container block holds other blocks inside it — sliders, columns, accordions, grids, generic sections. The blocks inside are called its children. Containers can be nested (a column inside a row inside a section).
Editing text
Click into any text in the preview that's marked inline-editable and start typing. There are two kinds of text fields: simple text (like a title) and slate (rich text — the body of a paragraph block, descriptions, etc.).
Links and media
The link picker, image picker, and upload dialog are part of Inka's chrome — they look the same on every site. What varies by design system is which links and images are click-to-edit in the preview: a site might wire up every link inline, or only a few "primary" links, with everything else editable from the sidebar. Same applies to images.
Selecting blocks
The editor has two modes when a block is selected: text mode (you're editing inside the block) and block mode (the whole block is selected as a unit).
Templates and layouts
A template is a piece of pre-built page structure that someone (often a developer or site admin) has saved separately. When you apply a template to a page, the page gets the template's structure overlaid: some blocks are fixed and can't be edited, some can be edited but not moved, and some are open slots where you fill in your own blocks.
