MEET BLOCK BUILDER

Build the block.
Let authors do the writing.

LOOK UNDER THE EDITOR

Open the file.
Your content is there.

Paragraphs and headings stay Markdown. Images, layouts, and reusable blocks use readable shortcodes. It all lives in the page body Grav already knows how to save.

Switch between Visual and Markdown while you work. Block definitions live in plugin configuration; your theme controls their public output.

## A good idea starts here

A little space to **think clearly**.

- Find the words
- Give them structure
- Make something useful

[flow-block type="callout"
  title="Make it yours"]
This is only the beginning.
[/flow-block]
No separate block database. Just your page file.
AUTHORS, SITE BUILDERS, THEME DEVELOPERS

For the people
behind the pages.

Authors fill the fields.
Site builders decide what those fields become.

01 / CONTENT AUTHORS

Stay with the story.

Choose a block, fill in its fields, and return to the sentence. Add media from the picker and open Review before you save.

02 / SITE BUILDERS & AGENCIES

Set your team up well.

Design reusable blocks visually, preview them with your theme, and give authors a clear form to fill in. Share snippets and starters for the content your team creates most.

03 / THEME DEVELOPERS

Keep your craft in the code.

Define fields in configuration and shape their output in Twig. Your theme controls the markup. Authors get a form that makes sense.

A FEW GOOD QUESTIONS

Before you
get into it.

Go a little deeper
Is FlowEdit free to use?

Yes. FlowEdit is open source under the MIT license. The features described here belong to the current plugin; optional stock and GIF integrations require their own provider keys.

What do I need to run it?

Grav 2.0.19+, Admin2 2.1.0+, API 1.0.19+, and Shortcode Core 6.2.5+. The editor and Block Builder ship prebuilt, so a Grav installation doesn’t need Node.js. See getting started.

Does my content stay in Markdown?

Yes. Ordinary content uses Markdown, rich blocks use [flow-*] shortcodes, and aligned text uses inline HTML. Unsupported constructs may change during a visual round trip. Keep FlowEdit and Shortcode Core enabled for shortcode rendering.

Can I match it to my theme?

Yes. Block Builder lets you design layouts visually and preview them with your active theme. Developers can also override block output with Twig. Start with the builder guide or the Twig block guide.

Can I try it before installing?

Absolutely. The playground runs the real editor in your browser. Writing, slash commands, custom blocks, tables, columns, and editable Markdown work there. Block Builder, themed previews, and other server features run on your Grav site.

What should I know about the current version?

FlowEdit 1.0.0-rc.1 is a prerelease. Existing pages require no migration. When saved page content changes, FlowEdit detects a stale save and keeps your draft available to copy and reconcile. Read about draft recovery and save conflicts, or see the changelog for what’s new.
