Action Bar

The Action Bar at the top of the Reel Builder stays visible as you scroll. From here you can:

• Expand or collapse all blocks at once
• Reorder blocks
• Jump directly to any block
• Open Theme Settings
• Preview your draft
• Save or publish your reel

Blocks

Blocks are the individual sections that make up your reel. Click a block to expand it and edit its content. Click again to collapse it when you're done.

Basic blocks (all plans): Banner, Biography, Button, Contact Info, External Links, File Attachment, Iframe, Image Gallery, Logo, Media, Profile, Representation, Spacer, Text, Title, Video Gallery

Advanced blocks (Professional): Credits, Event Calendar, Tag Filter

Common questions

How do I add a new block to my reel?

Hover between two existing blocks and click the + icon that appears. Then select the block type from the menu. See Working with blocks for more details.

How do I reorder blocks?

Drag blocks using the handle (six dots icon) on the left side of each block, or use the reorder button in the Action Bar for a list view.

What's the difference between Save and Publish?

Save for Later saves your work as a draft without updating the live reel. Save & Publish saves your changes and makes them visible to anyone with a share link. See Saving and publishing reels.

Why can't I see certain blocks in the menu?

Advanced blocks (Credits, Event Calendar, Tag Filter) are only available on the Professional plan. Some blocks like Contact Info, Profile, and Title can only appear once per reel.

How do I preview my reel before publishing?

Click Preview draft in the Action Bar. This opens a new tab showing exactly how your reel will look to recipients, without publishing your changes.
