How to append a plus icon in the column and element section?
Hi @sunhillbd I think this is a perfect case when you should use the view in components. The "plus button" is part of the component but only inside the canvas/editor and it shouldn't be exported in the final code https://jsfiddle.net/xcv07abt/

Hi @artf .
First of all, great work.
I have been trying to use grapesjs for a month now. So, I stumbled upon a situation where I need to let the user show the block sidebar when they click on a + icon. This would have given the users a bit more simplicity. Any guideline on how I can achieve this? See the attachment pls. thanks
