How to use the grid block to build simple comparisons of plans or options inside a document
The grid block in Jestor Docs works like a small table inside the document: just add the block, fill in variables and rows, and use the options menu to insert, move, or rearrange each cell of the comparison.
Why use the grid instead of describing things in plain text?
Comparing plans, options, or features in flowing paragraphs takes more effort to read than laying that same information out side by side. The grid block solves this right inside the document editor, without needing to export to a separate spreadsheet or create a full Jestor table just for that purpose.
It's a lightweight solution, meant for simple comparisons — like what each plan includes — inside internal documentation or meeting notes.
How to add and use the grid
- Inside the document, click the text editing toolbar.
- Select the grid option among the available blocks.
- Fill in the variables and add as many rows as you need.
- Use the three-dot menu on each row to insert, move, or rearrange comparison items.
| Block | Best used for |
|---|---|
| Flowing text | General explanations and descriptions |
| Grid | Simple comparisons between plans or options |
