+# Working with Blocks
+
+Your object is made up of different types of blocks to organize your information. Anytype's block-based editor works very similarly to that of blogging sites or website builders.
+
+All block styles originate from the command menu, which you can access by either clicking on the orange `+` symbol on the left-hand side of your editor, or typing `/`. 
+
+From here, you'll see more than twenty different block-types you can add to your object. 
+
+<figure><img src="../../.gitbook/assets/Screenshot 2023-08-17 at 18.49.21.png" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>
+
+### Style your Blocks
+
+You can select one block or several at once, and batch edit to create different headings and text styles such as checkboxes, bullets, or numbers.
+

+
+### Drag & Drop to Format

+You can use the orange 'handle' to the left of each block to create parent/child blocks or new columns in your editor.

+# Sidebar & Widgets

+Your sidebar is comprised of a series of widgets which allow you to preview and navigate objects you've created.

+By default, your sidebar includes widgets which link to your [Library](../anytype-library/) and Bin.

+In general, _any_ object you've created using Anytype's editor can be used as a widget and formatted as as link or tree view. Sets and collections - objects in and of themselves - can be used as widgets with a list of objects contained therein.
+
+Additionally, Anytype provides several options for _non-object_ widgets which you can add or remove from your sidebar, including:
+
+* Favorites: All objects which you've starred as as a favorite, regardless of object type
+* Sets: All Set-type objects
+* Collections: All Collection-type objects
+* Recently edited: Your recently edited objects (globally synced across devices)
+* Recently opened: Your recently opened objects (device-specific
+
+### Edit your Sidebar Widgets
+
+At the bottom of your sidebar you'll find an "Edit widgets" button, which upon clicking will reveal options to add or remove widgets from your sidebar.
+
+Clicking "Add" will give you the choice to choose your widget source. Again, a widget source can be any object you've previously created or the list of widget options above.
+
+### Adjust your Widget Appearance

+Depending on the widget source, you can choose from a variety of layouts.
