Editor blocks

List of all the content blocks available in the page, description and comment editors.

Text

The standard block for paragraph text and general content.

Headings (H1 - H6)

Organize your content hierarchically using six heading levels:

  • H1: Main page title (use only once per page)
  • H2: Primary sections
  • H3: Subsections
  • H4-H6: Further content subdivision when needed

To do

Adds checkable items for tracking tasks and their completion status.

Bullet list

Creates unordered lists for items where sequence doesn't matter.

Numbered list

Creates ordered lists when sequence or priority matters.

Table

Organizes information in rows and columns for structured data presentation.

Quote

Highlights quoted text or important statements with distinct formatting.

Code

Displays code snippets or command-line text with proper formatting and syntax highlighting.

Embed Pro

Seamlessly integrate external content directly into your documents with rich, interactive embeds. The embed feature supports a wide variety of platforms and content types, making it easy to enhance your documentation with multimedia and interactive elements.

Embed

Use the /embed slash command to quickly insert an embed block.

This opens an embed dialog where you can paste any supported link. The system automatically detects the content type and creates an appropriate embed with a rich preview. This eliminates the need for users to navigate away from your content to view referenced materials.

Embed Dashboard widget Enterprise Grid

Embed a live dashboard widget directly in a page. Instead of linking out to a dashboard, you bring a single chart, table, or metric from an existing dashboard into your page. It renders inline and stays in sync with your data.

Type / in the editor and search for Link dashboard widgets to insert a dashboard widget block.

When you insert the block, a selector opens where you choose a dashboard and then pick the specific widget you want to embed. The widget appears inline in your page.

You can change the widget at any time by hovering over the block and clicking Change widget. To remove it, click Delete from the block menu.

TIP

You need at least one dashboard with widgets already set up before you can embed one in a page. See Dashboards to get started.

Image

Inserts and displays images within your content.

Attachment Pro

Uploads and embeds files directly into your content, supporting documents, images, and other file types up to 100MB each.

Show video preview

When you upload video files as attachments, you can display them with inline playback controls. Just hover over the block and click the ⋮⋮ icon that appears. Select Show preview to convert the file link into an embedded video player. This works for all supported video formats.

Show preview

Columns Pro

Organize content side-by-side using multi-column layouts. Columns help you create visually structured pages for comparisons, parallel information, or more efficient use of horizontal space.

Columns

Use the slash command to insert the layout you need:

  • /2 Columns
  • /3 Columns
  • /4 Columns

Each column appears with an "Add content" placeholder where you can add any block type - text, lists, code, images, and more.

Video Pro

Embeds video content directly into your pages for rich multimedia documentation.

Embed videos

Type /video to insert a video block, then upload a video file. The video appears inline with playback controls, allowing viewers to watch without leaving the page. Supported video formats include MP4, MPEG, OGG Video, WebM, QuickTime, AVI, and WMV.

Show as attachment

If you have a video displayed with inline preview and want to convert it to a simple file link, hover over the video block and select Show as attachment from the actions menu. This collapses the video player into a compact attachment link.

Math equations Business

Add mathematical expressions and formulas to your Pages using LaTeX syntax. Whether you need to document complex calculations, display statistical formulas, or include scientific notations, Plane supports both inline and block-style mathematical equations. This is perfect for technical documentation, engineering specs, data analysis reports, and any content requiring precise mathematical notation.

Math equations

Block equation

Creates standalone mathematical expressions using LaTeX syntax. Block equations are displayed on their own line with centered formatting, perfect for formulas, theorems, and complex mathematical statements that need emphasis.

Use the /blockequation slash command:

\lim_{x \to \infty} \frac{1}{x} = 0

Or use double dollar syntax:

latex
$$ \int_a^b f(x)\,dx = F(b) - F(a) $$

Inline equation

Embeds mathematical expressions within regular text flow using LaTeX syntax. Inline equations maintain the same text baseline, allowing you to seamlessly integrate mathematical notation into sentences and paragraphs.

Use the /inlineequation slash command:

\bar{x} = \frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^{n} x_i

Or use single dollar syntax:

latex
$ a^2 + b^2 = c^2 $

Both equation types support full LaTeX rendering with built-in validation and error handling for invalid mathematical expressions.

Draw.io diagrams Business

Prerequisites

Before you can add Draw.io diagrams to Pages or Wiki, you need to connect the Draw.io integration from Workspace Settings.

Create and manage interactive diagrams and whiteboards directly within your Pages using the integrated Draw.io editor. Whether you need professional flowcharts, system architecture diagrams, or freehand sketches for brainstorming, the diagram feature provides powerful visual documentation capabilities without leaving Plane.

Draw.io diagram

Diagram

Create professional diagrams, flowcharts, and visual documentation using the full Draw.io editor with comprehensive shape libraries. Perfect for technical documentation, process flows, system architecture, network diagrams, and organizational charts. Use the /diagram or /drawio-diagram slash command to insert a diagram block. Click the placeholder to launch the Draw.io editor.

Board

Create whiteboards with freehand drawing and sketching capabilities using a simplified interface. Ideal for brainstorming sessions, quick mockups, concept visualization, and collaborative ideation. Use the /board or /drawio-board slash command to insert a whiteboard block. Click the placeholder that says "Click to start editing whiteboard" to launch the board interface.

Both modes feature a consistent toolbar with Save and Exit buttons, making it easy to preserve your work and return to your Page. All diagrams are fully interactive—simply click any saved diagram to edit it again.

Callout

Creates visually distinct sections with customizable icons and colors for highlighting warnings, tips , and calls-to-action.

AI block Business

Generate or transform content directly within your pages using AI. The AI Block lets you draft new content, summarize existing text, or run custom prompts without leaving the editor.

AI Block

Type /ai to insert an AI Block. The block appears with a prompt input area and a dropdown to select the action type.

Action types

Summarize page
Generates a concise summary of your page content. Useful for creating executive summaries, TL;DRs, or quick overviews of longer documents.

Custom prompt
