    Hello, is it possible to render a block (at admin side) in edit mode instead of preview by default?
    It seems there's no such option so far (it's in ACF), however, I wonder if it could be done by firing some javascript via mb_blocks_preview on load.

    Thanks in advance!

    I'm afraid there's no such option. Just wondering why would you want that?

    I just had clients recently who needed to fill a large number of inputs within multiple blocks across many posts and they didn't want to click edit every single time.

    Also, I have some blocks that do not render anything interesting but store important data.

    I got it. I'll add a param mode for the block that you can specify the initial mode: edit or preview (default).

    Excellent! Can this be added to the blocks extension's documentation? https://docs.metabox.io/extensions/mb-blocks/
