What is a block?
A block is a single unit of agent output, be that a research report, strategy outline, a piece of copy, deliverables, or any other sub-task. When an agent completes a task, the result appears in a block. You can have multiple blocks in a single task, each covering a different angle or output, or steps along the way. Blocks appear on the canvas to the right of the chat.
Key takeaways
Once a block's content is ready, Multiply writes two or three Key takeaways at the top of it. Blocks open folded to their takeaways. Click Full report to expand the whole block, and the arrow in the block header to fold it again. Read more in Key takeaways in blocks.

Navigating blocks
Each block also appears as a card in the chat, with the same takeaways. Click Open on a card to jump to that block on the canvas and expand it. Click a block's title on the canvas to fold or unfold it.
Inline references
When an agent has used sources, from web search or uploaded files, they appear as small purple numbers in the block content. Hover over a number to preview the cited section, and click Open in the preview, or the number itself, to see the full source and the agent's analysis of it.
Research blocks show a sources count under their title. Click it to see every source the block used. Read more in Sources and citations.
Copying and exporting a block
Click the download icon in the top right of the block and choose:
Copy plaintext or Copy markdown - copies the block to your clipboard.
Export as PDF or Export as Word (docx) - downloads the block as a file.
Use markdown when you want to preserve formatting like headers and bullet points. Use PDF or Word for client-ready deliverables, with inline references intact.
Deleting a block
Click the trash can icon in the top right of the block, then Delete to confirm. This can't be undone. A block can't be deleted while it's still running.
