Identifying the Classic Editor
Not sure which editor you're using? Here's how to tell:
The Classic editor doesn't support slash commands. Try typing / in your article and if nothing happens, you're in the Classic editor. When you're using the Classic text editor, you'll notice a toolbar at the top of your editor with buttons for formatting (highlighted in red below). 
How to Upgrade
Upgrading to the Blocks editor takes just a few clicks:
- Head to the article you want to upgrade
- Click ☰ More in the top right corner
- Select Upgrade to new WYSIWYG from the dropdown menu
- Click Save to complete the switch
Once you've upgraded, you'll have access to all the powerful features the Blocks editor offers. You can start using slash commands, drag and drop blocks, and enjoy a more streamlined editing experience ✨
