Lock Reusable Blocks

Description

Lock Reusable Blocks in the editor to avoid unintentional global changes.
Editing reusable blocks in posts is locked, and you have access to two actions when you select a reusable block in the editor:
– Edit the reusable block (opens the block editing page in a new tab)
– Convert to regular blocks (native action)

Options are availables in Settings > Writing screen to hide Edit and Convert reusable blocks buttons in block overlay.

All plugins should be like this. Simple one job plugins that do one thing well. I follow this philosophy in my own plugins and it is good to see others doing the same.

Even people who understand the concept of reusable blocks tend to unintentionally edit such blocks from time to time (changing it for the whole website instead of a single instance). This plug-in protects reusable blocks in simple, elegant way – and you can still edit them if this is really your intension. Should be integrated into WP core.
