Think of each page as a vertical stack. Every item in that stack is a paragraph. You select a type, complete the required fields, and place it in sequence. If you need to add something later (say, a callout between two existing sections) you can insert a new paragraph exactly where it belongs.
This structure keeps content modular and maintainable. You won't need to manually adjust formatting or worry about visual consistency; each paragraph type is already designed to display correctly within the site's templates.
The name is a bit misleading. A paragraph isn't necessarily text. It might be an image gallery, an embedded video, a set of linked cards, an accordion, or any number of other components. Each paragraph type serves a specific purpose and includes its own set of fields and display options.
