Doesn’t work

This is the third time I’m leaving this review. Do not remove it. My experience is my experience, and per the FAQs, is well within the guidelines. My experience is that the product does not work as intended.

This is a great plugin!

This works really well with Gutenberg! It’s very easy to use and I love using it.
