05/23/2023, 7:02 PMUsing the content editor, it appears that every block in the preview area (to the right) must be 100% in width. Am I missing something that would allow me to show more than one block on the same line (in-line)? I realize I could create a specific block that allows this, but this fixed approach is less flexible and not ideal.

05/23/2023, 7:03 PMa "parent" block is always 100% width, yes (though of course your frontend css doesn't have to render it at 100%, but I guess what you're talking about is putting blocks in columns on the same "row")

05/23/2023, 7:11 PMMy use case, perhaps on the rare side, is to create a "board" that allows blocks of varying width and height. Ideally, CSS would just wrap them as necessary based on the parent width. As a workaround, I have created a board block to nest everything into but changing the nested blocks order doesn't immediately update the preview area. Any way to fix this?
