How do you create a content block from the Zendesk help center?

Creating a content block from the Zendesk help center is straightforward. You start by clicking 'Add' in the top menu bar and selecting 'Content block'. This action adds the block to your content blocks list, making it available for insertion into any article.

When creating a content block, it's important to give it a meaningful name for easy identification. You can format the content using the toolbar and autoformatting options, such as adding bold text or inserting links. Once created, the content block is stored independently and can be reused across multiple articles.
