# Users can now add and update Callout and Quote block types

<Warning title="New API endpoints and block types not supported in older versions of the API as of September 28">
As of September 28, 2021, new block types and API endpoints will *not* be supported in older versions of the API. If you're currently on version `2021-05-11` or `2021-05-13`, upgrade to `2021-08-16` to take advantage of the new block types in this changelog and any other block types or endpoints introduced after September 28.

API functionality introduced before September 28 will continue to work with older API versions.
</Warning>
We have added support for retrieving, adding and updating quote and callout block types.
### Quote blocks
You can now can add and retrieve quote blocks when using [Append block children](/reference/patch-block-children) and [Retrieve block children](/reference/get-block-children).
