> A complete guide to managing blocks in the Bento editor.

# Work with blocks

## Add a block

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the block library">Select **Add block** in the editor.</Step>

  <Step title="Choose a category">
    Browse Custom, Sell & Grow, Social, Video, Music, Developer, Design, Writing, Shop & Tips, or
    Contact.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure it">
    Enter the requested link, handle, text, media, or product details.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add it to the page">Select the add button. The new block appears in your grid.</Step>
</Steps>

## Arrange and resize

* Drag a block to move it.
* Use the size choices in edit mode to change its footprint.
* Test both desktop and mobile layouts before sharing.
* Use larger sizes for media, maps, products, and detailed social previews.

## Edit or remove

Select a block to change its content or appearance. Use the delete control to remove it. Deleting a commerce block does not automatically delete the underlying product; manage products from the Products area.

<Warning>
  Removing a block is immediate after confirmation. Copy any text or URLs you may want to reuse
  before deleting it.
