Basic Block types

Use the [Text] Block and just start typing. You can then select a piece of text inside this Block and use the context menu to change its style. Make it bold, underline it, and change the color and alignment of the text; all the popular options are here.

Note: You can also select a piece of text and use the [Convert to Work Item] option. Do it to create a single with the selected text used as the name or description.


Apply different [Heading] levels to make your content easier to follow. You can choose between three options here, each with a different font size.


Use lists to add focus on details. You can go with a [Bulleted list] to write up a collection of items, a [Numbered list] to explain a procedure, or a [Checklist] to mark what has been done.

Note: You can select a list (or a part of it) and use the [Convert to Work Item] option. Do it to create several representing the selected points on the list.


You can use the [Divider] Block to separate two sections with a thin line.


The [Quote] Block is perfect for presenting inspirational sentences to others.


The [Code] Block creates a snippet where you can put a small, reusable piece of code that can be easily copied into another website or app.


Use [Table] for more structured content that can be best explained using columns and rows. This Block has buttons for inserting and deleting sections to help trim or expand your table.

Note: If you paste comma-separated values directly onto a Page, Timebook will automatically create a table to present your data.


Use [Callout] as a visual element to draw attention to specific information. Use the options available in the [Meatballs] menu of a Callout Block to change its background color and icon.


The [Date] Block is a simple tool to create time stamps. When you add it to the Page, it creates a small callout showing the current date and time. Press the Block to access the calendar picker and change the date and time. You can select past or future dates.
