Dashboard blocks
Annotate dashboards with markdown text blocks and organize them with section separators.
Not every tile on a dashboard is a chart. Text blocks and section separators let you add context and structure so a board reads as a report, not just a wall of charts.
#Text blocks
A text block is a tile you write in markdown, edited inline with a live editor. Use it for titles, commentary, definitions, or a short narrative next to the charts it explains. Supported markdown includes:
## A heading
Some **bold** commentary with a `code` reference.
- A bullet list
- [ ] A task itemContent is stored as portable markdown, and raw HTML is disabled — pasted scripts or tags are inert — so text blocks are safe to share on org-visible dashboards.
#Section separators
A separator is a labeled divider that groups the tiles below it into a section (for example "Revenue" then "Retention"). Separators carry a short label and help a long dashboard scan cleanly, especially alongside tabs.
#Adding a block
In dashboard edit mode, add a text or separator tile the same way you add a chart tile, then position and size it on the grid. Text and separator tiles participate in tabs like any other tile.
