Usage

The Cards block shows every published card, or just the categories you pick, as a Grid, Directory, Stratified list, or Cards tiles. Search for Cards in the block inserter.

Cards are sorted A–Z by title. Turn on Filter for category buttons or Search for a live search box.

When to use it

Use it to list programs, services, or resources. Stratified suits scanning by category. Cards suits tiles with a wide image.

Tips

  • Set Layout first. Images hides when Layout is Cards.
  • Filters to Display appears after you turn on Filter.
