OK. Now let's see ...

The document menu

WordPress 5.0 will also introduce some new document settings, settings that were
previously organized in the former "publish" box.

Gutenberg offers 10 different options for formatting your posts and pages:

1. document = this tab toggles the right menu to display the document settings

2. block = this tab toggles the right tab to display the block settings

3. status & visibility = will give you an overview of the current status of your post/page

3.1 visibility = the visibility option will allow you to choose who can see a published post/page (public, password protected, private)

3.2 publish = you can use the publish option to schedule your post/page to publish automatically

3.3 post format = will allow you to select the format of your post/page (aside, link, image, quote, standard, video)

3.4 stick to front page = check this box to have a link to your post added to the front page of your site

3.5 pending review = by selecting this option you'll change the post/page status to pending

4. revisions = the well-known Wordpress autosave function that will allow you to compare two versions side by side and to revert your post/page to an older version

5. categories = allows you to select/create a category for your post/page

6. tags = allows you to select/create a tag for your post/page

7. featured image = adds a featured Image to your post/page

8. excerpt = you can create an optional summary for your post

9. discussion = allows you to control whether you want to allow users to comment on your post/page.

Now let's see the "Block" tab ...

This tab will give you different options to format your blocks. Once you've selected the desired block, these block settings will allow you to customize each block individually.

In other words, when you select a block, the options in this panel will change. The available settings will vary with each block type.

For example, this is a quote block ...

And this is a heading ...

Finally, let's see a few ...

Advanced settings

The advanced block settings will allow you to ...

1. Add an additional CSS class to the given block

The custom CSS classes can be used by your theme to add additional styles to the selected block.

2. Change the type of the given block

Each block has an option that will allow you to change its type. By clicking on a block you have added and then hovering over the icon on the left, you can change its type to one of the pre-selected blocks provided to you:

3. Access additional block options

Each block contains additional options that can be revealed by clicking the icon on the far right side of the menu for the given block.

3.1 hide and show = this option will allow you to switch between hiding and showing the right sidebar block settings

3.2 insert before = this is where you can insert a new block above the block that is currently selected

3.3 insert after = this is where you can insert a new block below the block that is currently selected

3.4 edit as HTML / edit visually = this option will allow you to switch between editing views, either in HTML or visual

3.5 add reusable blocks = this is where you can save the current block for later use

3.6 remove block = delete the current block from your page/post

Conclusion

As I mentioned, the new Gutenberg editor is just the first phase of a bigger, long-term project. And no doubt, is here to stay. I recommend you to give it a try ...

And of course, you can use both Gutenberg and the Classic Editor at the same time. Marion Black has a great video on this topic. Check it out:
