# Blockquote

The Blockquote component highlights quoted or emphasized content within a page. Use it to draw attention to testimonials, key findings, or any text you want to set apart from the surrounding content.

## Overview

The Blockquote pairs a header title with rich text body content and offers several contextual variants — from a neutral default to brand, warning, error, and success styles — so the emphasis matches the tone of your message. You can also add an optional icon, with configurable size and position, to reinforce the quote visually.

### Why Use the Blockquote Component?

* **Emphasize Key Information:** Draw attention to important quotes, testimonials, or key takeaways.
* **Improve Readability:** Break up long blocks of text and make content more visually appealing.
* **Enhance Visual Hierarchy:** Create a clear visual structure and guide the reader's eye.
* **Add Credibility:** Highlight customer testimonials or expert opinions to build trust.

### Example Use Cases

* **Customer Testimonials:** Showcase positive feedback from satisfied customers.
* **Key Findings:** Highlight important insights from reports or research.
* **Call to Action:** Emphasize a specific message or encourage a particular action.

## Configuration

To configure the Blockquote, select it on the canvas. The **Edit Blockquote** panel opens on the right with two tabs: **Properties** and **Style**. The sections below mirror the Properties tab.

### Properties

#### Title

The **Title** can include text and is displayed in the header of the blockquote. It provides context or attribution for the quoted text — for example, the name of the person being quoted, the source (a book, article, or website), or a brief heading summarizing the quote's main point. A title is most helpful when the source or context of the quote isn't immediately clear from the quote itself. This field is optional.

#### Content

The **Content** is the main rich text body you want to highlight using the blockquote style. This could be a customer testimonial, a key takeaway from a report, an excerpt from an article, a powerful statement, or any other text you want to emphasize.

**Best Practices:**

* Keep the quote concise and to the point.
* Ensure the quote is relevant to the surrounding content.

#### Variant

The **Variant** changes the appearance of the blockquote. Select the style that aligns with the tone and purpose of the quote.

* **Default:** A neutral style suitable for general use.
* **Brand:** Applies your brand colors and styling, creating visual consistency with your overall design.
* **Warning:** Highlights cautionary information or advice.
* **Error:** Emphasizes critical information or errors.
* **Success:** Draws attention to positive messages or achievements.

#### Icon Name

The **Icon Name** is the Lightning Design System name of an optional icon shown alongside the quote (for example, `utility:success`). Select an icon that complements the content and reinforces its message. This field is optional.

#### Icon Size

The **Icon Size** controls how large the icon appears. Choose from **Xxs**, **Xs**, **Small** (default), **Medium**, or **Large**.

Requires: **Icon Name** is set.

#### Icon Position

The **Icon Position** describes where the icon sits relative to the quote — **Left** (default) or **Right**.

Requires: **Icon Name** is set.

### Set Component Visibility

All components support conditional visibility — see [Component Visibility](/dynamic-components/core-concepts/component-visibility.md).
