As mentioned in our How do I add content to create an Episode? article, you will use Parts, Items and Blocks to build and structure your Script and Rundown. To add these elements to your Episode, you can either use the '+' button or the 'Add block' option, or you can use handy keyboard shortcuts.
Adding Parts, Items or Blocks using keyboard shortcuts
To add Parts, Items or Blocks to your Episode, you can use the following keyboard shortcuts:
Action | Mac | Windows |
Add Part below | Option + Shift + P | Alt + P |
Add Item below | Option + Shift + I (i) | Alt + I (i) |
Add Block below | Option + B | Alt + B |
Before using the keyboard shortcut to insert a new Part, Item or Block, make sure to put your cursor in the element before the place where you want to insert the new element.
