/ anywhere in the editor to search for a block by name. Every block can be moved with the drag handle that appears on its left side when you hover over it.
Inserting and reordering blocks
Type/ at the start of any line to open the block menu. Start typing the name of the block you want and press Enter to insert it. To move a block, grab the drag handle on its left edge and drop it where you want it. The drag handle also opens a menu with Duplicate, Copy, Paste, and Delete, so a block can be copied from one lesson and pasted into another. As you browse the slash menu, a side card shows a small wireframe of how each block renders for students, so you can pick the right one before inserting it.
The menu groups blocks by what they do: Format, Media, Embeds, Layout, Interactive, Knowledge checks (the quiz questions), and Practice (exercises where students rehearse the skill). You can also search by what you want to do, such as “objection”, “case study”, or “teach back”.
Quiz questions, flashcards, reflections, checklist cards, and practice blocks carry a small label on top that tells students what to do, such as “Pick one answer” or “Explain it in your words”. It appears the same way in the editor and in the lesson.

Embed
Show an external page or tool inside a lesson, such as Loom, Figma, CodePen, Miro, or Google Maps. See Embed a website below.
Block settings panel
When you edit a lesson on a screen at least 1280 pixels wide, block settings open in a settings panel docked on the right side of the editor. Click a block, or put your cursor in it, and the panel shows that block’s settings, so you can adjust it while you keep writing. Changes apply as you make them. With no block selected, the panel reads Select a block to edit its settings and lists the blocks that have settings. These blocks have settings in the panel: the lesson Header, Callout, Image, Screenshot, Video, Button, Prompt, Bookmark, and the four practice blocks (Explain it back, Rapid-fire drill, Decision scenario, and Field mission). The panel shares the right side with the lesson AI assistant: opening the assistant hides the panel, and opening a block’s settings closes the assistant. The panel is only there while you edit lessons (not in preview).Embed a website
Type/ and choose Embed (searching “iframe” finds it too). The block shows Embed a website or interactive experience; click it to open the form.
- On the Link tab, paste the published page URL. Only secure (
https://) addresses work, and the site must allow being embedded. - Give it a Title. The title is required, because screen readers announce it to students. It starts as “Embedded content”.
- Set the Height (px), between 240 and 1200 pixels. The default is 480.
- Click Embed link. Fayne checks the URL first and tells you if the page can’t be found or the site doesn’t allow embedding.
Beyond blocks
A lesson also carries a few attachments that live outside the block canvas, in the action bar above the editor:- Add video promotes a video to the lesson’s hero, shown at the top of the lesson.
- Generate Audio creates a read-aloud version of the lesson in a catalog voice or your own cloned voice. See Lesson audio.
