Block settings explained

This refers to Moodle 4.1 from December 2023 onwards

Block settings explained

You may want to amend the settings of a block to make it always appear in a certain place for instance or to show on every page not just the main module page.  Below is a screen shot of the settings for the People block (they should look similar to other blocks apart from RSS feeds and HTML).

1. In your module click on the 'Edit mode' toggle switch (top right)
2. In the relevant block click the 'Cogwheel' and select 'Configure [Name of] block' from the drop down menu
3. 

Where this block appears

• "Display on page types": Options
  • 'Any page' (changes nothing)
  • 'Any module page' (any page in current module)
  • 'Any type of module main page' (main module page only)
• "Default region": leave as default ('right')
• "Default weight": help moves the block towards the top (-10) or bottom (10) of the block column
• 

On this page

• "Visibility": Column and location within column for the block but only on the page you are currently on
