This is awesome to see, and it makes me excited for the potential with this feature!

While being able to set the default is great, we frequently alternate block styling throughout our courses for emphasis and chunking content.

This feature would be exponentially more valuable if it was expanded to Managing Block Styles

  • Block styles that are managed at the course level (or even the account level to apply across courses)
    • Named(or at least numbered)
    • Same items you can modify as what is shown for the Default blocks feature
  • Applied individually and in bulk:
    • Style an individual block (Format block)
    • Select and style multiple blocks at once (Block Manager)

Here's a visual of the idea / functionality. Possibly a toggle option?

Thanks for the early vis!
