# Block Tabs

## The Appearance Tab

![The Appearance Tab](https://1948389296-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F0fWeIf0dD55hk2b9Gqjx%2Fuploads%2FOPTLZfnBhitaKUdkjG4A%2Fquotes-dlx-block-interface.jpg?alt=media\&token=a1590bbb-b56c-4f7e-b3fe-b2f4e4899e18)

The Appearance tab is where you place the main quote. You can format your quote to your liking, even having it span multiple paragraphs.

You'll see a rough preview and you can interact with the various quote elements just like someone would do so on the front-end of the site.

If you decide to change themes or put the block into preview mode, you'll immediately see the changes while on the Appearance tab.

## The Tweet Settings Tab

Within the Tweet Settings tab you can do the following:

### Set Custom Tweet Content

You'll notice on every tab that there is a character counter. If your quote exceeds the length in the character counter, you can click on `Customize Twitter Content` and enter a truncated summary of what you would like the tweet to look like.

Simply adjust the Tweet Content so that you have plenty of characters left for your tweet.

### Enter Hashtags

You can enter hashtags that correspond to your tweet. These will show up when someone decides to tweet out your quote.

### Set a Tweet Credit

If you would like to provide attribution for the quote, you can enter the person's Twitter handle here.

## Link Settings Tab

The Link Settings tab will allow you to customize the link that is shown in the tweet.

You can:

### Enable or Disable Links in the Tweet

If you would not like links in the Tweet, you can disable all links from showing up.

### Enable or Disable an Anchor

Each block is given a unique ID so that you can directly link to the Quote. You can turn this on or off and even customize the anchor.

### Enable or Disable URL Shortening

A URL shortener can trim much-needed characters from your Tweet.

The default is `None`, which means it will use the full URL of the post or page you are inserting the quote on.

Both Bitly and Jetpack are supported if the plugins are installed.

* [Bitly](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-bitly/)
* [Jetpack](https://wordpress.org/plugins/jetpack/)

Alternatively, you can select `Manual` and insert a custom URL of your choosing.
