One common task we will find ourselves performing quite frequently is placing blocks into regions. This task is very simple and can be performed by scrolling down the Block layout page, locating the region where we want to place our block, and clicking on the Place block button.

Let's try it now by following these steps:

1. Click on the Place block button next to the Sidebar second region.
2. Locate the Powered by Drupal block and click on the Place block button.
3. Leave the default settings within the Configure block dialog.

4. Click on the Save block button.

If we click on the Back to Site button within the Admin toolbar, we will be returned to the homepage where we will see the Powered by Drupal block appear in the right-hand column of the page.

Placing a block is straightforward. However, we did not bother with configuring the block and left the defaults when saving it. More often than not, we will want to configure a block based on various contexts.
