## Skildring

Lock Reusable Blocks in the editor to avoid unintentional global changes.
 Editing
reusable blocks in posts is locked, and you have access to two actions when you 
select a reusable block in the editor: – Edit the reusable block (opens the block
editing page in a new tab) – Convert to regular blocks (native action)

Options are availables in Settings > Writing screen to hide Edit and Convert reusable
blocks buttons in block overlay.

### 󠀁[Must-Have Plugin!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/must-have-plugin-508/)󠁿

Before this plugin, I'd spent hours redoing work on my Reusable Blocks I had accidentally
overwritten or completely deleted. Wish I could go back in time and tell myself 
to install this plugin as soon as I started! Easy install, clear UI, is working 
perfectly with my other plugins and my theme & WordPress version (Twenty Twenty-
Three; v6.1). As others have said, this plugin should be a feature by default. I'm
not blogging without it ever again!

This plugin doesn't get enough attention. THIS is the way reusable blocks are supposed
to work. Letting the user know what they are doing: editing the reusable block side
wide, or just editing a single instance. Clean, simple, obvious. Couldn't be better!
I have been following the problems with reusable blocks for years now. On Github
there seems to be a consensus that this issue is somehow resolved since block locking
became a feature. But still, it is way too easy to accidentally edit reusable blocks
in an unintended way, even with WP 6.2. Actually it used to be good when Gutenberg
just released. Back then, reusable blocks where one of the few features that they
completely nailed from the start. Why this was changed in such a bad way, is a complete
mystery to me. Thanks for writing this essential plugin. Hope it makes it into core!

This should be a feature of WP and not a plugin. It's really useful for building
large sites and not having clients mess them up afterward due to the ability to 
edit useable blocks.

This is the design that should the reusable blocks have out of the box!

All plugins should be like this. Simple one job plugins that do one thing well. 
I follow this philosophy in my own plugins and it is good to see others doing the
same.

### 󠀁[Simple, elegant – and very helpful](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/simple-elegant-and-very-helpful/)󠁿

 [Martin Sauter](https://profiles.wordpress.org/martinsauter/) 23. mars 2022

Even people who understand the concept of reusable blocks tend to unintentionally
edit such blocks from time to time (changing it for the whole website instead of
a single instance). This plug-in protects reusable blocks in simple, elegant way–
and you can still edit them if this is really your intension. Should be integrated
into WP core.
