Introduction
Gamma offers multiple ways to insert and organize content, making it easy to create structured and engaging presentations, documents, and sites.
This guide covers the two primary methods: Add block and the slash (/) command.
How to Add Content in Gamma
Option 1: Using Add Block
🌀 Insight: Add block provides a visual way to browse and insert different content blocks.
Step 1: Open Add Block
Open your gamma.
Click Add block in the toolbar at the top of the editor.
Step 2: Choose Your Content
Browse the categories (e.g., Blocks, Images, Shapes, Layouts, Diagrams, Charts, Videos, Embeds, Forms) or use the search bar.
Click a block to add it to your gamma.
🔷 Note: In gammas made before Gamma 5, the insert bar is on the right-hand side of the editor instead. Browse the content types there, then click or drag a block into your gamma.
Option 2: Using the Slash (/) Command
🌀 Insight: The slash (/) command allows you to quickly insert content blocks using your keyboard.
Step 1: Type the Slash Command
Click inside a text area or a blank space within a slide.
Type / to open the content search menu.
Step 2: Select a Block
Scroll through the available options or start typing to search.
Click the desired block to insert it into the slide.
FAQs & Common Issues
Why can’t I add content on mobile?
Gamma only supports editing on desktop.
What if I don’t see Add block?
Make sure you’re in editing mode: if the pencil/Agent toggle at the top-left is set to Agent, switch it to the pencil.
If it’s still missing, try resizing your window or reopening your gamma.
Can I customize blocks?
Yes! After inserting a block, you can edit text, adjust formatting, and customize styles.
