Issue Overview
The current text that explains what options are available when a block is found to have been modified externally is very confusing. This is the text currently:
This explanation does not make it obvious what will happen if you click on the "Overwrite" button. For example, clicking "Overwrite" suggests that the external modifications will be overwritten -- but that's not the case. Instead, the block markup itself is overwritten. The Gutenberg demo itself has done this with the cover image, the markup is changed so that the image can be loaded offsite.
Additionally, it is not necessary to convert to Classic or HTML blocks in order to keep your changes, the existing block can be updated by clicking "Overwrite".
Lastly, in the case of the cover image specifically, if you convert to Classic or HTML, you lose the ability to have the full-bleed effect that the cover image supports. So that should also be highlighted somehow.
Possible Solution
I suggest this as an alternative. This change includes the following:
Buttons: [[ Update ]] [[ Convert to Classic Block ]] [[ Convert to HTML Block ]]
The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
