There are two ways to do this: 1. In the newer “beta” drag-and-drop interface, hide/show buttons based on conditions. 2. In the older snap-to-place interface, use the Create or Clone blocks to add components to a container (row, column or screen). ---

You can get this block from the ‘Any Component’ section. ---
