  Is there a way to change the amount of space between two blocks? For example, when you have a heading block followed by a paragraph block can these two blocks be moved closer together? Also, can the colour of this space be changed without changing the background of the entire page? I am trying to design a page where different sections in the page alternate a background colour. I have been using the Shawburn theme, but could change. Thanks for your help.

  Hi there!

  Is there a way to change the amount of space between two blocks? For example, when you have a heading block followed by a paragraph block can these two blocks be moved closer together?

  That spacing is adjusted automatically; if you would like to decrease it, you would need to add some custom CSS. It’s available on plans Premium and above.

  can the colour of this space be changed without changing the background of the entire page?

  Do you mean to add color to the background on spaces between blocks? No, that wouldn’t be possible, these spaces will always have the color of the background of the page.

  I am trying to design a page where different sections in the page alternate a background colour.

  You can change the color of different Paragraph Blocks, have a look:
