Block Actions

What actions are available for blocks.

There are several actions that can be performed on a block to delete it, copy to another page or application, and so on. The actions toolbar appears when you hover over the block in Studio. So, let’s quickly go over each one.

Delete

Delete action

Use this to delete the block. Note that this action can’t be undone, so make sure you really don’t need the block anymore. If you might need it in the future, you can use the Hide action, which we’ll consider further.

Notes

Block notes

Using this feature, you can add notes to a block. This can be used to store some important information about the block to be retrieved in the future or, for instance, to comment on blocks and exchange ideas when working on an application together with collaborators.

You or your collaborators can add as many notes as needed, which will be stored as a thread (latest notes first) and will be accessible at any time in the future.

Use these docs with your AI tools

An AI agent can read this documentation directly. You do not need an account or an API key. Everything here is public and read-only.

Query these docs via MCP

Recommended

Add this server to Claude, Claude Code, Cursor, Mistral, or any tool that supports MCP. Your agent can then search Softr Documentation documentation and read it in full, instead of answering from memory.

https://docs.softr.io/mcp
  • searchFind the passages that answer a question.
  • fetchRead one page in full, as Markdown.
  • list_pagesSee every page in this documentation.

Query these docs over HTTP

The same tools also work as plain web requests. Use this for scripts, or for any tool that does not support MCP. There is one endpoint per tool. Arguments go in the query string, and the answer comes back as JSON.

https://docs.softr.io/api/docs/search?query=custom+domain

Read the OpenAPI description. It is built from the same definitions as the tools, so it always matches what the endpoints do.

Read these docs as Markdown

Add .md to any page URL to get its Markdown source. You can also send the headerAccept: text/markdown to the page URL itself.

To read the whole documentation in one file, open llms-full.txt. For a short index of every page, open llms.txt.
