Vertical paddling
Every content block comes with built-in spacing above and below it. With Change design, you can adjust that spacing on a per-block basis — giving important content more breathing room, or tightening up a page without resorting to empty text blocks as a workaround.
Change the vertical padding of a block
Hover over any content block.
Click Change design in the left-side block toolbar.
In the panel that opens, go to the Format tab.
Under Vertical padding, choose a size:
S — 20 px (default, matches current spacing)
M — 40 px
L — 60 px
Your choice applies to the block immediately.
Notes:
Padding is saved per block, so different blocks on the same page can each have their own setting.
Existing blocks keep their current spacing (S) until you change them — no visual change to existing courses.
How learners see it
The padding you set in the editor carries over to the published course, so what you see while building is what learners get.
Best practices
Use L to create separation. Add more space above and below a block that introduces a new idea or section.
Use S for dense pages. Keep the default when you want to fit more content without scrolling.
Mix paddings on one page. Combining sizes can help guide the learner's eye and create visual hierarchy.
