layout_builder_quick_add
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
