How to Add a Block in Gutenberg?
The first block of every post or page is the title.

If you don’t want to use a mouse to click on the button, then you can use a keyboard shortcut by typing / to search and add a block.
By default, the next block is a paragraph block. This allows users to start writing right away.
However, if you want to add something different, then you can click on the add new block button (+) on the top left corner of the editor, below an existing block, or on the right side of a block.
Clicking on the button will show the add block menu with a search bar on top and commonly used blocks below.
You can click on tabs to browse block categories or type in a keyword to quickly search for a block.
If you don’t want to use a mouse to click on the button, then you can use a keyboard shortcut by typing / to search and add a block.
Each block comes with its own toolbar which appears on top of the block. The buttons in the toolbar would change depending on the block you are editing
For example, in this screenshot, we are working on a paragraph block that shows basic formatting buttons like text alignment, bold, italic, insert the link, and more.
Apart from the toolbar, each block can also have its own block settings which would appear in the right column of your edit screen.

How can I Reassign comments with the Multicollab?
You can reassign a task from an existing Comment thread by adding a new comment starting with the @name/email address of who you want to assign /reassign the item.
As you fill in the email address of the assignee, it will show you the check box “Reassign” the comment/task.
If you mention multiple people in the comment, the checkbox will be completed with a dropdown where you can select the person to whom you want to assign the thread, chosen from the ones you mention in the comment. A thread can only be assigned to one person at a time.
This works both in a new comment (to assign) or in a reaction on an already assigned thread (to reassign). You don’t need to be the assignee in order to reassign the thread, you just need to reply.
