How do I add a block in Moodle?

To add a block to your module:

1. Turn editing on.
2. Open the Block drawer by clicking on the pink arrow icon on the right-hand side of the screen.
3. At the top click Add a block.
4. Choose the block you want from the list presented.
5. The block will appear on the right side of your course in the Block drawer.
6. You can move a block up or down using the move icon.

Note
Blocks appear only on the right side of your Moodle course. Examples of commonly used blocks are the Course visibility block and the Panopto block. You can add additional blocks, for example, the Text block.

To add a block to your Moodle Dashboard:

1. Turn editing on.
2. Open the Block drawer by clicking on the pink arrow icon on the right-hand side of the screen.
3. At the top click Add a block.
4. Choose the block you want from the list presented.
5. The block will appear on the right side of your course.
6. You can move a block up or down using the move icon.

If the block you want to add to your module or Dashboard doesn’t appear in the list of blocks, then it has already been added to the right hand side. You may need to scroll down to see it.
