Life Saver

Thank you very much for the plugin. Default list view makes me crazy especially the "Move to".

I wonder why this is not built-in.

So handy

By Li-An on December 16, 2022

A great little plugin that improves greatly block navigation and, super important, blocks movement. Put a block into another block precisely is so important.

exactly what I needed

By Stempelschneider (stempelschneider) on February 15, 2022

This is one of the best Gutenberg Builder Add-ons I've seen so far. Great tool that compensates the lack of an block overview feature in the Gutenberg Builder itself. Hope this will become part of Gutenberg sooner or later.

Amazing Plugin and So Useful!

By stevenorlosky on December 9, 2021

I learned about this from the Kadence WP tutorial on YouTube. They need to make a Pro version of this plugin so I can buy it! I absolutely love it, and it's smooth. I just downloaded it and it works amazingly so far. So glad you made this plugin, and I can't believe it's free! Gutenburg needed something like this badly! Thanks!

Very helpful plug-in

By andrewei94 on October 7, 2021

Coming from Elementor I think that a navigator is a really helpful feature for a pagebuilder. Per default Gutenberg unfortunately does not provide such feature. This is where this plugin comes in very handy.

Great plugin

By Nawawi Jamili (nawawijamili) on April 27, 2021

Help me a lot, thanks.

Great plugin

By DIMITRIS (naxiand) on April 8, 2021

I install in all Gutenberg sites. Very useful when editing page, no bugs so far. Thank you

Essential plugin

By marxcie on April 4, 2021

It should be part of core WordPress. Could have more features (like renaming elements, when it's a complex layout tree, sometimes I can get lost a bit), but it's already essential for me.

Awesome plugin and developer

By menathor on March 24, 2021

Great plugin. This should have been in Gutenberg by default! And the developer is very receptive to feedback

ESSENTIAL

By reelism on March 14, 2021

I honestly don't know how I'd work with Gutenberg without this, or if I did it would be significantly more annoying. Block Navigation is indispensable, nay supercalifragilisticexpealidocious!
