Blocks: Section, and settings every block has

Group blocks under a title, and learn the settings every block has: position, size, layer, screens, who can see it, and delete.

What's in this video

1. A Section is a framed area with a title. Use it to group blocks that belong together, such as everything about this week. In the Blocks panel, search for Section and click it.
2. It appears on the page, selected, and its settings open in the Inspector. First, give it a clear name. A section's name is its title.
3. Every block has this tick box: Hide this block's name above its content. Tick it when the content already says what the block is about.
4. Underneath are the settings every block has, so it's worth knowing them once. Position: the arrows move the block one step left, up, down or right. You can also drag a block around the page.
5. Size: Narrower, Wider, Shorter and Taller. The page is twelve columns wide, so a block twelve columns wide fills the whole width. You can also drag a block's corner.
6. Layer: when blocks overlap, Bring to front and Send to back decide which one is on top. A section usually goes to the back, so the blocks you place over it stay in front.
7. Show on: Desktop, Tablet and Mobile. Untick one to hide the block on that size of screen. Make a copy for Mobile gives phones their own copy, which you can size and place differently.
8. Visibility: tick one or more roles, and only people with those roles see the block. Leave them all unticked, and everyone sees it.
9. And Delete block removes it. If you delete something by mistake, Undo at the top brings it back.
10. These settings work the same on every block. So in the other block videos, we'll focus on what makes each block different.
