To edit a block, hover over it and click the pencil icon. Then you&#8217;ll see some familiar stuff.<\/p>\n<p>Each block has a &#8220;<strong>Content<\/strong>&#8221; tab and a &#8220;<strong>Settings<\/strong>&#8221; tab.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Content<\/strong> is where you&#8217;ll find the text, images, and other elements associated with the look and feel of your block&#8217;s content.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Settings<\/strong> is where you can control the spacing, alignment, and other formatting elements<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You can make the necessary changes to as many blocks as you want, but don&#8217;t forget to click &#8220;<strong>Update<\/strong>&#8221; in the top righthand corner when you&#8217;re done, to save all changes.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/div> <!-- .site-grid__col -->\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div> <!-- .site-grid, .site-grid__wrapper -->\n\t<\/div> <!-- site-section__content -->\n\n\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n\t\t\t<div\n\t\t\tclass=\"site-section site-panel__query_loop panel panel-query_loop site-section__bg--normal\"\n\t\t\tdata-depth=\"\"\n\t\t\tdata-js-panel=\"query-loop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"site-section__inner l-wrapper site-section__inner--top-padding-minimal\">\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<header class=\"site-section__header\">\n\n\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"site-section__title h3\" id=\"pages-in-this-section\" data-name=\"title\" data-livetext data-depth=\"0\" data-index=\"0\">Pages in this section<\/h2>\n\n\t\t\t<\/header>\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n    <div class=\"site-section__inner--top-padding-minimal query-loop\">\n\n                    <article class=\"item-loop item-loop--page c-card  \">\n\n\t\n\n\t<header class=\"item-loop__header c-card__header u-cc-purple\">\n\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/wp.stolaf.edu\/using-wordpress\/editing-your-content\/images-video\/\" rel=\"bookmark\" class=\"c-card__link\"><span class=\"u-visual-hide\">Images &#038; Video<\/span><\/a>\n\n\t\t\n\t\t<h3 class=\"item-loop__title c-card__title\">\n\t\t\tImages &#038; Video\n\t\t<\/h3>\n\n        \t\t\t<p class=\"item-loop__content c-card__content\">\n                Use the Image or Video blocks to add media content.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n        \n\t<\/header>\n\n<\/article>\n\n                    <article class=\"item-loop item-loop--page c-card  \">\n\n\t\n\n\t<header class=\"item-loop__header c-card__header u-cc-purple\">\n\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/wp.stolaf.edu\/using-wordpress\/editing-your-content\/documents-pdfs\/\" rel=\"bookmark\" class=\"c-card__link\"><span class=\"u-visual-hide\">Documents &#038; PDFs<\/span><\/a>\n\n\t\t\n\t\t<h3 class=\"item-loop__title c-card__title\">\n\t\t\tDocuments &#038; PDFs\n\t\t<\/h3>\n\n        \t\t\t<p class=\"item-loop__content c-card__content\">\n                Learn the basics of using documents in your website.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n        \n\t<\/header>\n\n<\/article>\n\n                    <article class=\"item-loop item-loop--page c-card  \">\n\n\t\n\n\t<header class=\"item-loop__header c-card__header u-cc-purple\">\n\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/wp.stolaf.edu\/using-wordpress\/links-in-html\/\" rel=\"bookmark\" class=\"c-card__link\"><span class=\"u-visual-hide\">Links in HTML<\/span><\/a>\n\n\t\t\n\t\t<h3 class=\"item-loop__title c-card__title\">\n\t\t\tLinks in HTML\n\t\t<\/h3>\n\n        \t\t\t<p class=\"item-loop__content c-card__content\">\n                Use HTML to add links and anchor tags to jump to specific points in your content.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n        \n\t<\/header>\n\n<\/article>\n\n                    <article class=\"item-loop item-loop--page c-card  \">\n\n\t\n\n\t<header class=\"item-loop__header c-card__header u-cc-purple\">\n\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/wp.stolaf.edu\/using-wordpress\/linking-to-media-library\/\" rel=\"bookmark\" class=\"c-card__link\"><span class=\"u-visual-hide\">Linking to Documents in your Media Library<\/span><\/a>\n\n\t\t\n\t\t<h3 class=\"item-loop__title c-card__title\">\n\t\t\tLinking to Documents in your Media Library\n\t\t<\/h3>\n\n        \t\t\t<p class=\"item-loop__content c-card__content\">\n                Link to published documents in your media library, and beyond!
