Fantastic overview of the platform, i'm excited to give this a go. However, the contstant music in the background made it difficult for me to concentrate on what was being said.
Hi Richard! Apologies we did not get back to you sooner. At the time of this video going live we had listed 2 versions, one with music and one without. The link is in the description 🤝
Useful video thanks. Some feedback: Is there a reason that clicking publish when in review status doesn't show any visible messaging? I can imagine that being frustrating and unclear to content editors.
is it possible to use storyblok to create layouts. for example i want to output some tiles in a 3 column layout, but somewhere else i decide to use a 4 column layout?
Certainly, you have full flexibility in accomplishing this! You have the option to select the number of columns in the featured articles section. Additionally, you can create presets for each version of the component and attach a screenshot for each one. These presets can also be applied at the story level, enabling you to generate various templates for the same story. This feature proves highly beneficial, especially for designing landing pages. Keep in mind that presets capture the content and configuration of the component or story at the moment of registration, but you can always make modifications to them later on.
Why visual editor and whole storyblock content, blocks etc UX is so complex? Why we can't use simple page builder like wordpress elementor etc. I'm technical but not able to find what is the different between block types, how i create header and footer etc.
Hi @saifmsp7575 thank you for your feedback. We understand that navigating a new platform or tool can sometimes be challenging, especially when you've had experience with others who function differently. Think of Storyblok as building with Lego. Blocks (Components/Bloks): These are the individual Lego pieces. In Storyblok, each blok represents a modular piece of your content. Set (Story): When you assemble Lego blocks together following a certain theme or design, you get a set. In Storyblok, when you bring various bloks together, you form a cohesive story or piece of content. Blueprint (Content-Type): Just as every Lego set comes with an instruction manual dictating which pieces go where, in Storyblok, the content-type serves as this guide. It defines which bloks are allowed and what fields (like color, size) can be modified within those bloks. Reusability: Just as you can use the same Lego brick in multiple sets, in Storyblok, you can reuse the same blok across different stories. This allows for consistency and efficiency. Moreover, you can nest bloks within each other to craft more intricate designs. To give a practical example related to your use-case: Header: This can be thought of as a specialized Lego block. In Storyblok, a header might be a blok with a specific content-type named "Header" that contains fields for things like the logo and the title. Page (like a Home Page): Imagine constructing a Lego set. This "set" is like a Storyblok story of content-type "Page". The blueprint for this scene (the content-type) allows you to include certain bloks, like the aforementioned header. Footer: Similarly, a footer in Storyblok can be visualized as another unique Lego block. It might be a blok of content-type "Footer" that encompasses fields for elements like copyright text, social media links, and other relevant details.

Hi! We do have a warning by the system if the page is in the workflow stage that doesn't allow publishing

i am very nterested in Story blok! I am courious to know what other pictures do you have?
Could you please specify what particular aspect you are interested in?
Hey how do I move an image ? The one I have keeps on going to the bottom left but I want it on the bottom right ?
On the style tab, you can switch the order or the image and move it to the left or right
