Block Navigation

Demo – Documentation – GitHub

Block Navigation provides a sidebar with the current post/page’s blocks and some tools to facilitate the editing process in the new Gutenberg editor.

Features

The features are especially useful for nested blocks – blocks that are inside parent blocks which are difficult to select or move in the editor.

Inside the panel several utilities are included to enhance the UX, such as:

• Dragging blocks to a different location
• Moving blocks by click
• Selecting blocks
• Easily recognising the block from a small snippet of the block’s content

The user can select a dark or light color scheme, from the multiple included.

Plugin and Theme developers

The plugin also provides some features for Plugin and Theme developers, such as:

• Click and Copy the block’s clientId
• Click to console.log helpful data from the block

Usage

Inside the Post editor on the right side of the top Block’s Toolbar the plugin icon/button should appear (if not, please read the FAQ below). Click the icon/button to open the plugin sidebar.
