Automatic Block Inserter is a powerful plugin that allows you to easily insert blocks into specific post areas as well as above or below specific block types based on an offset.
<h3>Usage</h3>
To get started with the Automatic Block Inserter plugin, follow these steps after installation:
Creating a New Automatic Block:
<ol>
<li>In your WordPress dashboard, locate and click on the “Automatic Block” menu item.</li>
<li>Click on “Add New” to create a new block.</li>
<li>Enter the content for your block just like you would for a post or a page.</li>
</ol>
Configuring Block Settings:
Once you’ve created the content for your block, you’ll see a control in the sidebar named “Position.”
Here, you can configure where and how your block will be inserted:
<ul>
<li>Post Type: Choose the type of content you want your block to be associated with (e.g., posts, pages).</li>
<li>Location Type: Select whether your block should be placed in a specific “post area” or next to a “block type.”</li>
<li>Position: If you chose “post area,” your block could be set to appear within the “post content.” For “block type,” you’ll get a dropdown menu listing all the available blocks where you can anchor your new block.</li>
<li>Location: Decide if your block should appear before or after the selected position.</li>
<li>Offset: This option is available when you select “block type” as your location type. It allows you to specify how many blocks away your new block should be placed from the chosen anchor block. 
Insertion Logic and Display:</li>
</ul>
The plugin uses the settings you’ve chosen to determine where to insert the block in your content. 
If you select “after” in the “Location” setting for a post area, for example, the block will appear immediately following the post content. 
If you set an offset with “block type,” the plugin counts the specified number of blocks and places your new block accordingly. 
Previewing and Adjusting:
You can preview your post or page to see how the block appears with the rest of your content. 
If the placement isn’t quite right, you can go back and adjust the settings as needed until you’re satisfied with the positioning.
Multiple Blocks and Conditions:
The plugin allows you to create multiple blocks, each with its own set of conditions and placement settings. 
This means you can have different blocks appear in different contexts across your site, offering a high level of customization.

I was searching for a solution to add a banner/CTA at the bottom of every article on my site. This plugin works very well. It is lightweight and simple to configure.

Adds some basic but vital indexing functionality for Synced Patterns (previously called Reusable Blocks until WP 6.3):
<ul>
<li>Shows Patterns in the main WordPress admin menu</li>
<li>Adds a column to the Patterns list indicating how many times a Synced Pattern appears throughout the site</li>
<li>This count links to a list of all the content (Posts, Pages, and other public Post Types) which includes the block</li>
</ul>
Designed to work seamlessly with Fabrica Dashboard: https://wordpress.org/plugins/fabrica-dashboard/

This plugin just made it to my MUST USE plugin list... All the advertised features work, but there is one more VERY important feature that I am not sure even the author realizes that this plugin does also.

Right now, through this plugin's screen, or if not using this plugin, in the native Gutenberg's reusable blocks screen, you can import and export ONE reusable block at a time. That said, if you activate this plugin, you will now have the option to export ALL reusable blocks with one click, which is very useful if you have dozens of reusable blocks. To export all of them in one file, go to Tools->Export, and you will get the option to export all your reusable blocks.

Everything that this plugin does, SHOULD be part of the WP core, no excuses, everything this plugin does, is extremely crucial. 

Some history... The blocks export feature in the Tools->Export screen was available when running WP 4.9x, and using the Gutenberg plugin. The export option from the Tools screen disappeared when Gutenberg was merged in the core. In December 2018, I notified the developers on slack abut this, in their core channel, and I was swiftly told to report it in the Editor channel, which I did immediately. The answer I got there was that this function should be restored, but never did - 3-4 months later. This plugin brings back the ability to export all the reusable blocks with one click, in one file, so I can pack up all my blocks and save them as backup, or simply move them to another website.

Thanks for this great plugin,
Nick.

This is better than the author realizes...

Another simple plugin, that displays this content. Probably should be in core. I also love the fact that it tracks where that block has been used.

Love it
