What is a Post Excerpt Block?
The Post Excerpt Block can be added to show excerpts on posts, where they are displayed via a Query Block.
How it Works
The excerpt is configured on the post itself. You can choose where it appears in relation to other blocks you’ve added in the Post Template, such as the Post Title, Post Date, or Post Terms.
Block Settings
You can customize the Post Excerpt Block using Style and other settings options, giving you great flexibility in how you tailor elements to your design.
