**`Get Content`** is an [output block](/app-editor/page-flow/block-anatomy.md#output-block) that retrieves and outputs the content of any element on the page or form. The output is of type [*text*](/app-editor/page-flow/references/value-types.md) and is compatible with [Value Parameters](/app-editor/page-flow/block-anatomy.md#value-parameters) of type [*text*](/app-editor/page-flow/references/value-types.md) or of type [*any*](/app-editor/page-flow/references/value-types.md).

{% hint style="success" %}
Refer to the [Get Content in Data Design](/app-editor/page-flow/toolbox-blocks/get-content-in-data-design.md) block for dynamically generated content.
{% endhint %}

The block comes in two modes which are discussed below:

## Mode 1 <a href="#mode-1" id="mode-1"></a>

<div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/MxLkIAt0WbqZuhnY4CSH" alt="" width="251"><figcaption><p>Get Content Mode 1</p></figcaption></figure></div>

The Mode 1 version of the Get Content block consists of the *Element* [selectable input](/app-editor/page-flow/block-anatomy.md#selectable-input) to choose the element you want to get the content of.

## Mode 2 <a href="#mode-2" id="mode-2"></a>

<div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/xSiO1tHcdLmQTtYuxzWT" alt="" width="251"><figcaption><p>Get Content Mode 2</p></figcaption></figure></div>

The Mode 2 version of the Get Content block consists of the *Element* [value parameter](/app-editor/page-flow/block-anatomy.md#value-parameters) that accepts either a [*text*](/app-editor/page-flow/references/value-types.md) value in the form of a [CSS Selector](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/CSS/Building_blocks/Selectors) or an [*element*](/app-editor/page-flow/references/value-types.md) value[.](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/CSS/Building_blocks/Selectors) The Element block comes pre-attached for your convenience but can be removed and customized.
