# Quote

> Quote Blocks in Courier emphasize key text with distinct formatting per channel—indentation for email and Slack, quotes for SMS. Ideal for highlighting citations or testimonials. Supports conditional visibility.

Quote Blocks highlight important text or citations in your notifications. They're useful for emphasizing key points, displaying testimonials, or citing sources.

## Working with Quote Blocks

### Adding a Quote Block

1. In the Courier designer, click the "+" icon to add a new block
2. Select "Quote" from the block options
3. Enter the text you want to appear in the quote

### Cross-Channel Behaviors

Quote Blocks adapt their appearance based on the delivery channel:

#### Email

Creates an indented quote block with distinctive styling.

## Conditional Rendering

Like with any content block, Quote Blocks can be hidden using a [conditions filter](/platform/content/template-settings/send-conditions#for-content-blocks).
