 * Hey [@janciriack](https://wordpress.org/support/users/janciriack/),
 * there is a vertical align option in gutenslider, you can change the valignment
   on the block toolbar which is either located at the very top, or directly over
   the gutenslider block, depending on your editor settings.
 * The horizontal alignment can often be changed on the block you use. E.g. in Paragraph
   or heading blocks. If you need to pick an arbitrary position, you should use 
   custom css and absolute positioning.
