Now, add the width of your button. Navigate to Settings (1 ) > Block (2) > Settings (3) > Settings (4). Select any percentage from the settings to select the width.

To further customize your button, go to the Styles tab. Select any style that suits you the best.

The Style tab has further options to customize your button.
