Positioning Your Quote:

1. Hover over the block edge until you see a hand icon
2. Click and drag the block to desired position
3. Use the gray guideline box for placement
4. Release when properly positioned

Styling Your Quote:

  • Save changes

• Version 7.0:

Pro Tips:

• Use quotes for important business information, interview highlights, or customer testimonials
