 * With the Gutenberg editor how do you make the block wider so that the white space
   is better used.
    By this question I mean when one is editing the block and not
   when the published page is viewed. I am using the Genesis – Dedicated theme.
 * Regards.

 * You need to create an [admin theme plugin](https://codex.wordpress.org/Creating_Admin_Themes).
   It loads a stylesheet that contains your preferred CSS for the admin area. To
   widen the block editor width, I believe the CSS you need is
 *     ```
       .wp-block {
           /* default was 674px */
           max-width: 1024px;
       }
       ```
   
 * Alter the 1024 value as you prefer.
