When to use it
For short facts. If the answer is longer than a line, use a long answer, or people will trim the thought to fit the box.

What you can set
Fields this block has in the editor, beyond the question text itself:
- hint inside the empty field
- answer length limit
Every block also has these: whether an answer is required, a description under the title and a small eyebrow line above it.
What lands in the answers
The text exactly as typed.
The inbox shows the answer as it came in; a CSV or XLSX export gives the block one column.
