Referencing library block

Hi all,
I can't for the life of me work out how I did this in the first place. I have some blocks saved in my personal library, linked to several surveys. You can't change the questions in the surveys - I have to change the block in my library. This is what I want. If I look at the block in my library, I can see the three surveys it's linked to, and in the surveys see the icon and text telling me it's a reference block.
My question is... how do I do it again?! I want to create blocks in my org's shared library so others can edit if needed, but now I can only manage to copy the questions into a survey, not reference the block. I've found how to reference a survey, but that's neither what I need nor what I did previously.
Someone, please save me from tearing my hair out!

    Hi HWYoung ,
    For blocks the functionality is located in the Block Options in the upper right corner of the block you wish to copy in the survey builder screen. Block Options --> Copy Block to Library.
    Once the block is copied to your library you can copy it into future surveys (by default), or choose the option to make it a reference block to get the behavior you are looking for.
    Here's the link to the support information with step-by-step details: https://www.qualtrics.com/support/survey-platform/survey-module/block-options/block-options-overview#SavingABlockYourLibrary
