## Key points

Summary: Show three to five takeaways at the top of an article: switch the block on, add rows to the key points field in the post, and match its card to the TL;DR.
Availability: Pro only.

A short list of what the reader takes away from the article. It works twice: for somebody scanning before they commit, and for somebody coming back a week later trying to remember what was in it.

The difference from the TL;DR: the summary is prose about the topic, the points are a list of conclusions. Your site can have both, one, or neither.

## Set it up

:::steps

### Switch the block on

Go to [[Verba > Theme Options > Single Post > Body]], group **Key Points**, and check **show key points**. It is on by default.

### Add the points on the post

In the post editor, in the Editorial panel, use the **Key points** field. Press the add button for each row, one takeaway per row. Drag rows to reorder them.

:::

With no rows filled in, the block does not appear on that post, even with the switch on.

## Appearance

:::options

- **Key points heading**: The title above the list. Empty shows the list alone.

- **Heading tag** (default: paragraph) and **heading size** (default: h6): Structure and appearance, set separately. Explained in Reading aids.

- **Key points style**: The surface the card is painted on, from the theme shared set.

:::

<div data-callout="tip">

The key points card sits directly under the TL;DR card. Giving them different surfaces looks like a mistake rather than a decision, so keep them matching unless you have a reason.

## Writing good points

One row, one idea. A point the length of a paragraph turns the block into a second introduction, which is exactly what the reader was hoping to skip.

Three to five rows is the working range. Do not number them by hand; the list is already visually marked.

<details><summary>Should every post have key points?</summary>

No. They suit explanatory and practical articles. On a personal essay or a news item they read as filler.

</details>

<details><summary>Can I reorder points after publishing?</summary>

Yes, drag the rows in the editor and update the post.
