 * When I add blocks, such as text, I often need to give the block a margin or another
   way to decrease the width. Is there no way to do this without CSS in the blocks
   editor?
 * At default text and other blocks goes to full width.

 * [@superdep](https://wordpress.org/support/users/superdep/) One way to do this
   is to group your paragraph block (using the options menu from the block toolbar
   with the three stacked dots). The group block should have a padding option that
   allows you to make the text narrower.
