What?
Configure the social links block to directly insert a
core/social-linkblock when the appender is clicked, eliminating an extra step and improving the user experience.Why?
When adding social links to the block, users previously had to interact with the block inserter to select which type of block to insert. Since this block only accepts social-link children, we can streamline the experience by directly inserting them without requiring an extra selection step.
