#### **Settings**

There are several aspects of your Music block that can be changed in this screen; the name of the block, the icon (or image) that will be used in the app menu, and the top image for the "Music" screen. You can also choose whether you'd like the users to be able to share the events via twitter, Facebook, or email.

Click on the **icon** if you want to change the image used in the app's menu.

* **Edit** provides a wide range of image editing options for you to manipulate your icon image.
* **Replace** allows you to choose from a wide range of AppMachine icons or upload your own.
* **Remove** removes the icon so that only text is used (in this case **Music**) is presented in your app's menu.<br>

Should the need arise to keep the users of your published app from using this portion of the app, then you can always make use of the **ON/OFF** toggle in the top right of the settings section.

Toggle selector to **OFF** to keep users from seeing the **Music** block. Now you can continue developing your app without worrying about users coming upon areas that you haven't finished developing as of yet. Once you are satisfied with your progress, toggle the selector back to **ON** to publish this portion of your app.
