# General Block Settings

In this article, we'll walk you through some common settings that all blocks have regardless of their purpose and functionality.

## Block Name

Each block is assigned a specific name when created, but you can edit that.

The "#" symbol before the block name is used for [linking](https://softr.gitbook.io/softr-documentation/studio/internal-external-and-anchor-links#block-linking-also-called-anchor-links).

## Block Embed

The **Block Embed** option is located at the bottom of the **Features** tab. Using this feature, you can embed the block on another website. Just copy the block code snippet and paste it wherever needed.
