## FAQ

### Does this remove my block-editor content?

No. The plugin changes which editor WordPress opens. It does not delete post or 
page content.

### Can I switch back to the Block Editor?

Yes. Disable the relevant option or deactivate the plugin.

### Does the free edition work with custom post types?

The free edition supports posts and pages. The Pro edition provides individual controls
for public custom post types.

### What happens if Free and Pro are both active?

The free edition stays inactive while Pro is running, preventing duplicate editor
rules.
