You can now add buttons to your GitBook content, meaning you can now create calls-to-action right on the page.
Here’s how buttons look when published:
Buttons are an inline option — like emoji, links and inline images. You can add one to any text block, and they can link to any other content within your docs, or any external URL. Simply hit / to open the inline palette and choose Button.
Buttons come in two styles — primary and secondary. In the editor they’ll appear as black or white, but in published content they’ll use your site’s primary and color to style the primary button and a derivative (typically black or white) for the secondary color.
We’ve added a new way to select blocks on your page — click and drag.
Before, you could select one or more blocks by highlighting the content within them and hitting Esc. Now, we’re adding a second option that makes it simple to grab large groups of blocks in one go.
Simple click and drag your cursor across the blocks you want to select to see the selection box. Releasing the mouse button will select all the highlighted blocks, ready to be copied, deleted or turned into reusable content.
We’re constantly working to improve the way you and your team work in GitBook, and value your input on features, bugs, and more. Make sure you head to our official GitBook community to join the discussion.
