Understanding 'Blocks'

What are blocks and how are they docked?

Blocks are items which may be added to the left or right or centre column of any page in Moodle. They may also be added to the centre of the My Home (My Moodle) page. You can theme the position of blocks in the centre of pages as well.

Any block can be made 'sticky' so that it appears in all the contexts below, such as throughout a course or a particular activity - see Block settings.

How to Dock/Undock a Block:

Blocks can be placed on the side of the screen (if your theme supports it) via the Dock icons (Block to Dock  and  Dock to Block)

• Locate the block to be docked and click on the "Block to Dock" icon:

• The block is now located in the margin:

• Hover over the block to see the block contents:

To undock, click the "Undock this block" icon:

• To undock all blocks at once, click the "undock all" (bottom left) icon:
