Block A - Slot 2

Slot 2: 9:00 am America/Los_Angeles - October 22, 2026

Many site builder tools offer users the ability to format any page in any way with videos, text, images all arranged however. The trade-off here is structure with all information stored in one place, making exporting as well as re-use much harder.

Backdrop offers several ways of structuring content but one of the most popular ways is "Paragraphs". Paragraph types can be defined with any combination of fields and presented in the usual flexible ways.

This session will demonstrate how to use Paragraphs and explore the variety of modules that extend and enhance the paragraphs functionality.

If time allows we can also cover the upcoming functionality of Layout paragraphs, where a paragraphs field can be assigned a paragraphs layout and the individual paragraphs added to the regions within the layout, though this has been demonstrated before (see link below).
