The same writing tools can format Updates, Courses, and Docs. This lesson uses the formats while explaining what each is for.

Headings and text

A heading starts a new section and makes a longer page easier to scan.

A smaller heading

A smaller heading can group a detail within that section. Regular paragraphs carry the explanation. Use bold for a key term, italics for occasional emphasis, and a link to Docs (opens in a new tab) when readers may want more detail.

Lists

Use bullets when the order does not matter:

• A change to announce
• A topic to teach
• A detail to document

Use numbers when the order does matter:

1. Draft the content.
2. Review it.
3. Publish it.

Callout

A callout makes a short, important note easy to notice.

Table

A table helps readers compare the same details across several items.

Code block

A code block keeps spacing and punctuation intact. It is useful for commands or examples that someone may need to copy.

Content type: Course
Lessons: 3

Divider

Next, we will look at images and video.
