# Adding a Block to a Requirement

To add a [block](/v1/docs/requirement-blocks) to the [requirement](/v1/docs/requirements):

1. Be sure that the [requirement has been added](/v1/docs/adding-a-requirement).
2. From the Add/Edit Requirement Blocks section of the workscreen, select the course or action that you want to add to the block from the **Select a Course or Action** list. To [add and assign a new private action](/v1/docs/editing-a-blocks-actions#adding-and-assigning-a-new-private-action), click **Action (Private)**.

If you added a course to the requirement block, icons display to indicate whether the course's auto-enroll and self-enroll settings are enabled. You can expand the course's accordion to [edit the course's settings](/v1/docs/editing-a-blocks-courses#course-settings) for the requirement.
