When you click a block, the products that it contains are listed in the calculation view below the reconfiguration chart.
If you select a Compare block, you will see the output results. There is a column that reflects the label of each block in the chart.
Rename the blocks in their green properties box for a more specific description. The new names are reflected in the Compare Article View:

In the article view, you are able to edit quantities and even zero out lines if you wish.
