Layout Builder Quick Add
This module offers a faster way to add blocks to your Drupal layouts by presenting a selection of block types directly, rather than opening the default sidebar. Users can still access the default workflow if needed.
This module provides an additional interface that allows you to add blocks quicker than using the default sidebar of Drupal core. It will display a selection of block types when clicking "Add block" instead of opening the sidebar. You will still have a "See more blocks" link that will let users use the default Drupal core workflow.
Features:
- Adding blocks without using the sidebar
- Display/Hide the description of the block when picking a block type.
- Show message when the block type has multiple view modes enabled
- Themes:
- Default
- Claro support
- Gin support
Instructions
- Install module
- Configure the module at /admin/config/content/layout_builder_quick_add
- Try to add a block through layout builder, it should use the new interface
