# Editing a Block's Actions

## Adding an Action to a Block

The impact of adding an action to a requirement that is already assigned to users will depend on the [requirement's **Override Expiration Status** setting](/v1/docs/assigning-requirements-to-a-certification#settings-override-expiration-status). If the requirement's **Override Expiration Status** setting is not checked, adding an action to the requirement will cause the certification status of users who have met the certification to change to "Unmet".  
  
However, if the [requirement's **Override Expiration Status** setting](/v1/docs/assigning-requirements-to-a-certification#settings-override-expiration-status) is checked, the certification status of users who have met the certification will be unaffected when the action is added to the requirement. The length of time that the user's certification status continues to be met will depend on whether the [*Permanent* or *Sticky Until* option](/v1/docs/assigning-requirements-to-a-certification#extend-expiration-date-options) is selected.  

To add an action to a requirement block:

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