Simply click on the question and the answer is revealed underneath.
No! Use as many as needed.
The Embed Block is useful for embedding third-party JavaScript snippets anywhere on a page. Simply paste the code provided into the Embed Code field and that's it! There is no example shown here as there are endless possibilities to what can be embedded.

Much like the Embed block, the Iframe block allows an embed of another website but via an iframe. Not intended for use with videos (see Video Block below for more info).
The Image Block is useful for adding a single image to the page.
It can also be used alongside another block type, as shown in this example of a Text Block accompanied by an Image Block.
The Image Grid Block is similar to the Gallery Block
The main difference being that the Image Grid Block allows images to be linked to other pages/content. It can also be displayed as a slider instead of a grid layout.
The Logos Block, as the name suggests, provides a simple way of displaying a grid of company logos with optional links.
Embed a Google Map with an optional marker in the centre.

The Text Block does exactly what it says on the tin. A simple wysiwyg editor allowing for formatted text, lists, tables etc. Particularly useful in combination with other blocks in a two column layout. Text Blocks allow the creation of following elements...
Paragraph text (this is the default text style if nothing is selected within 'Formats'). Throughout the 17th and 18th century and into the early 19th century, interior decoration was the concern of the homemaker, or an employed upholsterer or craftsman who would advise on the artistic style for an interior space. Architects would also employ craftsmen or artisans to complete interior design for their buildings.
