Add callouts

Callouts draw attention to important information — tips, warnings, errors, and confirmations.

Insert a callout

  1. Type / in the editor to open the Editor slash commands menu.

  2. Select one of the four callout types:

    • Info (blue) — supplementary information, tips, notes

    • Warning (amber) — caution, potential issues

    • Danger (red) — critical warnings, destructive actions

    • Success (green) — confirmations, positive outcomes

  3. Type your message inside the callout block.

Change callout type

Click the icon on the left side of an existing callout to cycle through the four types: info → warning → danger → success → info.

When to use each type

Destructive operations, permanent deletions

Expected results after completing a task

Don't overuse callouts. If every paragraph has one, readers start ignoring them and the visual emphasis is lost. Aim for one or two per topic.

Tips

  • Keep callouts brief — one to three sentences. Long callouts lose their visual emphasis.

  • Don't overuse callouts. If everything is highlighted, nothing stands out.

  • Callouts render with their colors and icons on Publish a web site, making them effective for scanning.

Callout styling carries over to published sites automatically. The colors, icons, and formatting you see in the editor match what readers see on the published page.
