The Numbered List block creates ordered lists with sequential numbers. Use it when the order or sequence of items matters. Each item in the list is automatically numbered in sequence.

​
When to use Numbered Lists

Numbered lists work well for:
  • Step-by-step instructions and procedures
  • Ranked or prioritized items
  • Sequences where order matters
  • Recipes, tutorials, and how-to guides

​
Creating a Numbered List

To create a numbered list:
  1. Type / to open the slash menu and select Numbered List
  2. Type your first list item and press Enter to add more items
  3. Press Enter twice on an empty item to exit the list
You can also:
  • Press Tab to indent and create nested lists (sub-steps)
  • Press Shift + Tab to outdent items
  • Numbers automatically update when you reorder items

Tips for teachers and parents

Best practices:
  • Use numbered lists when sequence or order is important
  • Keep steps clear and actionable; one action per step
  • Start each step with a verb for instructions (e.g., “Click”, “Type”, “Select”)
  • Use numbered lists for procedures; use bulleted lists for unordered items
  • Consider breaking very long procedures into sections with headings
