How are blocks saved?

Hello,
before updating to v 6.0.23 I remember a small "save" icon on top of each designer block, allowing to save the element as block to be used with other forms. After the update I don't see it anymore.
Does this mean that any element created now is automatically saved as a block?

Also, I have lots of blocks that are useless, they were saved before I realized that the save icon was creating a block. If I delete these blocks this will also delete all the designer elements in the various forms from which the blocks were created in the first place?

Thank you

As far as I'm aware when you use a block it just recreates it in the form so you should be safe to delete it. But just in case, try it on something less important.

Hello,

The blocks can now be built directly in the block manager, if you want to create/edit a block then you have to do that in the blocks manager first, later you can either add the block contents to the form or "reference" it using the "Stored block" element.

No, deleting a block will not delete the elements in the form, but if you are calling a block "refrenece" with the new "stored block" then it will return nothing.

Hello "admin"...

You say "The blocks can now be built directly in the block manager"...
But where ?
- In "ChronoConnectivity6" ? I don't see this option.
- In "ChronoForms6" ? The contents of the block list of "ChronoForms6" do not appear in "ChronoConnectivity6".
