I can select primitives in a diagram and create the super block and save it to my scilab files location and connect up the super block, but I cannot figure out how to name it and have the name present in a diagram so i can differentiate it from other super block that look exactly the same. Would also like to know how the change the displayed graphic.

I am using 2026.1.0 on Lmint Linux Mint 21.3 Virginia base: Ubuntu 22.04 jammy
