Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

WP PlugIndex currently records Shed Editor Assist version 1.0.3 as active, updated 1mo ago and tested up to WordPress 7.1.
Overview
About this plugin
Shed Editor Assist enhances the Gutenberg block editor experience with visual aids that make layout structure clearer.
Features:
Layout Borders — dashed outlines on Columns, Column, Group, and Spacer blocks so you can see structure at a glance
Block Color Coding — each block type gets a distinct border color (paragraph, heading, image, list, buttons)
Grab Markers — a ⠿ handle at the top-left corner of each block for quick drag-and-drop reordering
Backspace / Delete Protection — prevents accidental block deletion or column-merge when the cursor is at the start or end of a block (both keys protected)
All features are editor-only. Nothing is added to the frontend.
Each feature can be toggled independently under Settings > Shed Editor Assist. Border style (dashed / solid), width, and base color are also configurable.
