# PM Blocks

A PM Block is a single task in your processes that enables you to efficiently execute complex steps without any hassle. Use PM Blocks to build and share tricky or commonly used sections of your processes as one Modeler element.

Edit a PM Block independently and see the changes reflected automatically in all processes where it is used. Use the Import/Export feature to quickly move PM Blocks between your test and production environments.

{% hint style="info" %} <mark style="color:orange;">**Good to know**</mark>**:** ProcessMaker offers ready-made PM Blocks that you can import and use to simplify your process design.
