    is there a way to disable direct editing of reusable blocks? I’m editing a page and accidently it deletes parts of reusable blocks and breaks 8 other pages. Wow what a horror

    And in a page where it has one reusable blocks. It keeps hanging while I try to select the reusable blocks to delete it.

    It keeps saying “update” when I didn’t change it. Even when I force close the tab and open a new one. It wants to edit the reusable block. WHat is this horrible experience?

    Hi there @mayy3321 ,

    I am sorry you feel this way.

    I had a similar issue in the past and saw this issue on one of the forum topics. Here is the link: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/suggestion-prevent-reusable-blocks-from-being-edited-in-the-editor/?

    Hopefully, this will help you out and improve your experience on the platform.

    Best wishes.

    That one is a plugin, not the built in Gutenberg Reusable Blocks

    Even when I edit a page, it suddenly wants to save reusable block. Even before I touch anything! And it refuses to let me save or edit the page without editing the Reusable Block

    Oh this is hopeless. A page keeps breaking a reusable block.
    I DELETE the block from the page.
    It STILL wants to save to that reusable block.
    I open the reusable block and fix it.
    The page is STILL broken
    I can’t add the reusable block back to the page, I can’t revert the page
    THe page is just stuffed.
    reusable blocks are useless now.

    It won’t even save now. ctrl-s doesn’t work because it wants to update a bunch of reusable blocks
