User Need

As a BlockNote user browsing the slash/suggestion menu, I need a tooltip that shows a preview and description of a block before insertion, so I can understand what the block looks like and how it behaves without inserting it into the document. 

Goal(s)

  • Display a lightweight preview on hover over each block item in the suggestion menu that visually represents the block’s appearance once inserted. 
  • Include descriptive text in the tooltip to explain the block’s purpose or common usage patterns. 
  • Reduce trial-and-error insertions by providing clearer block selection information upfront. 
  • Enhance discoverability and decision speed when working with unfamiliar (custom) blocks.
