 A block with embedded sensors saves space in the track plan, and can speed up creating a new track plan.\\
 After dropping this type of block the following actions will be automatically handled by the server:
-  - Generate two new invisible sensor objects with IDs fitting to the block: //"blockID+"// and //"blockID+"//.
+  - Generate two new invisible sensor objects with IDs fitting to the block: //"blockID+"// and //"blockID-"//. \\ In the example above: left Block side = "**bk1+**" and right Block side = "**bk1-**"
   - Generate the four route events for both sides of the block; **Enter** and **In**.
 Setting the sensor addresses must be done manually.\\

 =====Simulating the sensors=====
-The sensors can be simulated with the **Left Mouse** button and both the **Shift** and **Alt** key pressed.\\
+The sensors can be simulated like the separate sensors with the **Left Mouse** button.\\
-The sensor which will be activated depends of the mouse position in the block symbol.\\
+The sensor which will be activated depends of the mouse position in the respective quarter of the Block symbol.\\
+===== Changing IDs =====
+|< >|
+|:!: **Whether and how IDs can be changed depends on how the block and the embedded sensors were created.**  |
+==== Created directly as a "Block with embedded sensors" ====
+>These sensors are marked in the __**[[:sensor-index-en|Sensor index]]**__ with the position **0;-1,-1**.
+As described above, get embedded sensors which are did direct created the ID of the block plus the identifier of the block side. This relation between the IDs is a **necessary requirement** for the function. Therefore, changes to the IDs of the block **and** of the sensors must be made **synchronously**.\\
+//Example://\\
+//Before:// Block = "**bk1**"; Sensor plusside = "**bk1+**"; Sensor minusside = "**bk1-**".\\
+//Afterwards:// Block = "**Block1**"; Sensor plusside = "**Block1+**"; Sensor minusside = "**Block1-**".
+These direct embedded sensors can __not__ be displayed as separate sensors.
+==== Converted "Block with separate sensors"====
+>These sensors are marked in the __**[[:sensor-index-en|Sensor index]]**__ with the position **0;0,0**.
+First was a block with separate sensors created and later converted in the mode "Edit panel" with the Block context menu function __**[[:block-menu-en#block_with_embedded_sensors|Block with embedded sensors]]**__
+|< >|
+|  :!: **The IDs of converted sensors must NOT be changed, \\ because the relation "Sensors -> Block" is fixed and without Dialog access.**  |
+The ID of the converted block does not have this restriction and __may be changed at will__. \\
+If wished, these converted sensors can with the 'Show' option also be displayed and positioned as separate sensors. \\
