1. **[Add a Block](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=analytics.reports_adding_blocks.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Adding blocks to joined reports lets you create multiple views of the data included in a single report.
2. **[Reorder Blocks](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=analytics.reports_reordering_blocks.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    You can reorder blocks in joined reports. Reordering blocks affects the report’s appearance but doesn’t affect the data in the blocks.
3. **[Rename a Block](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=analytics.reports_renaming_blocks.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    You can rename blocks to provide more user-friendly descriptions of the information they contain.
4. **[Show and Hide the Record Count for a Block](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=analytics.reports_blocks_row_count.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    You can choose to show or hide the number of records, or record count, for each block in a joined report. By default, record count is displayed for each block in the report builder and on the run reports page.
5. **[Delete a Block](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=analytics.reports_deleting_blocks.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    When you no longer need a block, delete it.
