Usage notes for the Gutenberg editor.

General Usage

  • Question: Is it possible to hide block meta controls by default? The meta controls overlay and hide content above the current block. This impacts editing workflow when referring to previous sentences / list items / etc.
    • Answer: Yes! Use the “Top Toolbar” setting in the three-dot-menu to move these meta controls to the top toolbar.
