List view is probably going to be one of your most used areas of the site editor. Once you start to learn this, you’ll wonder how you ever coped without it.
The list view is the tree of blocks that are used on your site. It makes editing your affiliate site much easier.
We recommend enabling List view to open by default when you’re using site editor.
