Supported media presentation blocks

Open the Blocks panel in the right sidebar (plus icon) to add blocks by category. Every block below can pull from Media and/or Portfolio—choose the presentation first, then wire assets in Attr after you select the block on the canvas. Layout, text, and navigation blocks are listed in Editor blocks and layout reference.

Capability overview

Presentation blocks turn uploads into stories: a single editorial still, a proofing grid, a geographic impact map, or a full-viewport hero reel. You compose in Pages → Edit; visitors see the published layout on your live site.
