Reveal Formatting Differences for Block Settings

Hello Kadence Team, Firstly, I want to thank you for the fantastic work you’ve done with the Kadence Theme and Blocks. They have significantly improved my workflow and the overall experience of building websites. I am writing to suggest a feature that I believe would greatly enhance the usability of the block editor. Often, while working on a project, I find myself asking, "Why does Block X look slightly different than Block Y?" This typically leads to a time-consuming process of reviewing each block's settings to identify the discrepancies. To streamline this process, I propose adding a feature similar to Microsoft Word's "Reveal Formatting." This feature would provide a quick overview of the settings applied to a selected block, highlighting any deviations from the default settings. Feature Details: 1. Overview of Applied Settings: A panel or tooltip that shows the current settings of the selected block. 2. Highlight Differences: Clearly indicate changes from the default settings. For example: + If the default padding is 16px and it has been changed, show the new value (e.g., 24px). + If the default margin is 24px and it has been adjusted to 32px, highlight this change. + Show text styling changes such as bold, italic, font size adjustments, etc. 3. Quick Access: Easy access to this overview without navigating through multiple settings panels. Benefits: Efficiency: Quickly identify differences between blocks, saving time and effort. Consistency: Ensure uniformity in design by easily spotting and correcting discrepancies. Ease of Use: Simplifies the debugging process for block settings, especially for users managing complex layouts. Thank you for considering this suggestion. -Tyler

  1. Darn it the formatting got messed up on my original post. I’m going to try again below.
