Content Block Settings Overview

Slickplan’s Content Planner gives you powerful settings to fine-tune the behavior, structure, and appearance of every content block. Whether you’re formatting text, embedding media, or uploading documents, the settings modal lets you define exactly how blocks behave and how content is delivered.

Special settings unique to certain block types

How to access block settings

To open the settings modal for any block:

Hover over the block in the content editor
Click the gear icon in the top-right corner

Shared settings across most blocks

Many content blocks share a consistent set of settings. Here’s what you’ll typically see:

Formatting (block type)

If the block supports multiple types (like media uploads or text), you can change its type here.

Examples:

Switch from Image to Video or Document block
Switch from Rich text to Plain text

Multiple uploads (for media blocks)

Toggle whether multiple uploads are allowed in the block.

Toggle on: Adds an “Add another” button under uploaded items
Toggle off: Limits the block to one file only

Upload limit (for media blocks)

If multiple uploads are enabled, this field lets you restrict the number of uploads.

Choose Unlimited (default)
Or set a Fixed limit and specify a number (e.g., max 4 files)

Content limit (for text blocks only)

Enable character or word count limits for writing.

Select Character or Word
Enter the maximum allowed value in the field

HTML wrapper (for most blocks)

Wrap content in semantic or custom HTML tags. Toggle it on to activate additional fields:

Tag: Choose from semantic options like div, section, aside, figure, h1–h6, blockquote , etc.
Class name: Add optional class names for CSS styling
ID name: Add a unique ID for referencing the block in code or templates

Note: Available wrapper tags may vary depending on block type (e.g., more inline tags for plain text).
