Configuring a previously-placed block

Goal

Configure the settings of a block that was previously placed in a region of a theme.

Steps

1. In the Manage administrative menu, navigate to Structure > Block layout.
2. Click the name of the theme that contains the block.
3. Optionally, click Demonstrate block regions to see the regions of the theme.
4. If you only want to change the region where a block is located, or the ordering of blocks within a region, drag blocks to their desired positions and click Save blocks.
5. If you want to change additional settings, find the region where the block you want to update is currently located, and click Configure in the line of the block description.
6. Edit the block's settings. The available settings vary depending on the module that provides the block, but for all blocks you can change:
   • Block title: The heading for the block on your site -- for some blocks, you will need to check the Override title checkbox in order to enter a title
   • Display title: Check the box if you want the title displayed
   • Visibility: Add conditions for when the block should be displayed
   • Region: Change the theme region the block is displayed in
7. Click Save block.
