- Block **B** is a _child_ of **A** and it's in the same _branch_ as blocks **C** and **D**.
- Block **C** is a _child_ of **A** and the _parent_ of **D**.
- Why is this important? As we've discussed in the previous lessons, Logseq is a networked note-taking tool that works with links. We also discussed that Logseq has no hierarchy, which is actually nuanced. As you've probably deduced by now, hierarchy in Logseq happens at the block level.
- By indenting blocks, you create a branch that you can navigate. Let's turn the example above into links and navigate to the _**Linked references**_ section of the page of _Child **D,**_ created for block **D**:

- By going to the page of _Child **D**_, we can see this hierarchy as it's composed on this documentation page: first up is _Parent and child **C**_ and then _Parent **A**_.
