Block Support Eligibility
To be eligible for the Layout support, blocks must be containers for other blocks. For example, if the block uses useInnerBlocksProps then it is a likely candidate for benefiting from the layout support. The blocks that appear to use this hook are below.
Note that the Layout block support currently supports blocks where the inner blocks wrapper is also the outer wrapper for the block's markup. Blocks (such as Cover and Media & Text) where the inner blocks wrapper is nested will require additional work, or updated logic for the Layout support in order to work properly. More details in the Cover block layout support issue (#43140).
