# Creating a Block {% embed url="" %} *** 1. From the AIME Live Dashboard, select the '**Open Block Editor'** in the top right corner to open the Block Editor.
2. Once in the Block Editor click the pink '**+**' button in the bottom left corner to create a new Block.

Returning users can see their previously made Blocks in the 'My Blocks' tab

First time users who haven't made a Block yet can also use the
'Create New' button to start creating.

3. You will then be prompted to choose between starting a new Block from a Shopify Style, or from a past Block design. Select an option to continue.\ \ [Shopify Styles](/aime-live/quickstart-user-guides/the-block-editor/styles.md) are predesigned styles based off popular themes that help you quickly style your block with minimal-to-no customization required.\ If you've already created a Block design and you've customised it to suit your store, the best option is to use that styling going forward so you don't have to customise the full Block again.

Note: If you're a first time user of the Block Editor, you will not be able to
start a Block from a previous design. You must create one from a Shopify Style first.

4. If you selected '**Start from a Shopify Style'**, use the arrows to choose which Style you want to have applied to your Block. Use the pink '**Confirm**' to select.\ \&#xNAN;*(If you selected 'Start from a previous Block Design, skip to step 5)*
5. If you selected '**Start from a previous Block Design**', use the arrows to choose which previous Block design you want to copy and apply to your new Block. Use the pink '**Confirm**' to select.\ (**Tip**: to create a new Block from a past design, you can also use the ellipsis options menu on a Block in the 'My Blocks' tab and select '**duplicate**'. This will copy all styling on that Block to a new one that you can rename and continue making changes to.)
6. Once you've confirm your choice, create a name for your Block and click **'Confirm & create Block'**. Please note this is an internal name only, no shoppers will see it. It's the name you'll see when selecting which Block to apply to your store in the Shopify Theme Editor. Blocks can be renamed at a later stage if you wish, [see here](/aime-live/quickstart-user-guides/the-block-editor/my-blocks/renaming-a-block.md).
