## Add

```sh
npx @ava-ui/apogee add contact/simple-form-04
```

This copies the block to `src/components/apogee/blocks/contact/` with everything it uses: ContactForm, ContactMethod, Section, SectionHeader. Every piece of copy is a prop, with the sample copy as its default. Pass yours, or `null` to hide a part; see [copy is props](https://apogee.avaui.dev/docs/contact-sections#copy-is-props).

## Accessibility

-   The heading is an `h2` by default, so the block slots into a page under its `h1`; item titles are one level down.
