Here's how to add a blockquote to a document in Linear

  1. Open Your Document

    Navigate to and open the specific document in Linear where you intend to insert a blockquote. This is the first step to modifying any document content.

  2. Position Your Cursor

    Click within the document's content area to place your text cursor at the exact spot where you want the blockquote to appear. This determines the insertion point.

  3. Open the Formatting Menu

    Type a forward slash (/) directly into the document. This action will trigger a pop-up formatting menu, offering various content block options.

  4. Select Blockquote

    From the displayed formatting menu, locate and click on the "Blockquote" option. This will insert a blockquote element into your document at the cursor's position.

  5. Add Content to the Blockquote

    Once the blockquote is inserted, you can immediately begin typing or pasting text into it. The text will be formatted as a blockquote, typically with an indentation and a vertical line.
