Schedule,animate or lock a block

Power-ups are extra settings for a block: a schedule for a launch or a sale, an animation to draw the eye to one link, or a lock for content that needs a warning. Open a block from your list and choose its Power-ups tab.

Which blocks have which power-ups

Collections, dividers and the social icons row have no power-ups.

Schedule a block

1. Open the block, go to Power-ups and choose Schedule.
2. Switch on Schedule this. It starts the next morning by default.
3. Set the day and time under Shows.
4. To take it down again, click + Add an end and set Hides. Click Remove end to keep it up for good.

Times are in your time zone. A line under the dates tells you what's happening now, such as On your page now. In your list, the block shows a tag like "From 7 Nov" or Ended. Switch Schedule this off and the block is always on your page.

Animate a link

Choose Animate and pick a motion. The options run roughly from calm to loud: Glow, Pulse, Shimmer, Orbit, Sparkle, Pop, Bounce, Wiggle, Shake, Electricity and Glitch. Choose None to stop it. Animated links show a small sparkle icon in your list.

Lock a link or code

Choose Lock and switch it on, then pick what visitors are asked for:

• Sensitive content: they confirm before the link opens.
• Age check: they confirm they're old enough, with 18+ or 21+ under Minimum age. On a discount code, they enter a date of birth instead.

Discount codes have two more choices:

• Subscribers: they join your mailing list to see the code.
• Secret code: they type a code you've shared with them. Set it under Secret code. It isn't case-sensitive.

What visitors see shows the screen people get when they tap it. Locked blocks show a tag in your list, such as 18+ or Subscribers.
