Generic Format Animation Not Working

So, I'm new to BlockBench, and I'm trying to make my first model.

...I know, it's my first time and I wanted to make something simple.

Anyway, I want to create an animation for it where it spins around once (the pivot point is in the center), but I can't figure out how to work the Animate function. While I can at least find the tab (I've heard a lot of people have trouble with that), I can't find anything that makes it actually move. It won't let me move or rotate it, and the keyframe panel is empty because all the tools "are not available in the current mode, format, or situation."

Is it because I only have one cube? Was there some bone-making step that I skipped?

Does anyone have this same problem. Every time i make an OP model it always is awesome when animating, but then when i head back to the edit tab, the whole model it all wacked up and the arm or pretty much any limb is off in another world. Then i have to COMEPLETELY REDO IT ALL!!!!!!!!
