No built-in updater. New versions won't appear under Dashboard → Updates. Install new releases yourself, or let Git Updater track the repository.

Readme github.com/bradvin/block-editor-mode-indicator ↗

Shows a red/green status light in the WordPress admin bar that indicates whether the block editor is running in the iFrame (green) or legacy (red) mode.

Useful when testing your plugin blocks, and you want to quickly know which version of the editor is currently in use.

What the indicator looks like

iFrame editor (green)

Legacy editor (red)

Legacy editor mode indicator in the admin bar

Forcing legacy mode

If needed, you can force the legacy (non-iFrame) post editor by enabling the setting that registers a hidden Block API v2 block. This makes the block editor load without the iFrame.
