# Blocks

A Block is the smallest content unit in Bentowise.

Most of the content you see and work with on a Board is represented as a Block.

Blocks can take different forms, including:

* Notes
* Images
* Links
* File attachments
* Attachment collections
* Shortcuts
* Other content types

Different Block types are designed for different kinds of information, but they all live inside the Board's bento grid.

## Arrange Information Visually

Blocks are more than content containers.

Depending on their importance and relationship to other information, you can:

* resize them
* reposition them
* use color to distinguish them
* place them inside different Sections
* arrange them side by side or vertically

The same set of information can take on a very different meaning depending on how it is arranged.

Bentowise is not designed as a completely freeform infinite canvas. Blocks stay within a **structured bento grid**, while still giving you enough flexibility to combine and rearrange information.

**Blocks are the units of information. The bento layout makes the relationships between them visible.**
