No flex option in the side panel
The gjs-preset-webpage plugin by default has no flex section so you have to write your own customStyleManger
Read full answer below βQuestion
I am using grapesjs plugins to build the side panel options and different elements. I am looking for this flex section in the side panel but there is none.
Is there any option that I need to enable for this any of the following plugins that I am using?
gjs-preset-webpage, grapesjs-lory-slider, grapesjs-tabs, grapesjs-tooltip, grapesjs-custom-code, grapesjs-typed, gjs-blocks-flexbox
I tried adding the customStyleManager in gjs-preset-plugin but that overrides all the default option that this plugin comes with I have to manually write all those options in customStyleManager I don't want to do that. Please help - thanks!

Change the _styles/index.js_ with the content given below. Also update the styles as required
`

sm.getSectors().reset(csm && csm.length ? csm : oConfig);
}
`sm.getSectors().reset(csm)
Is what fixed it for me, I assume oConfig would work too. I don't understand why this is necessary... or more specifically, why the demo gets away with NOT doing it (unless I'm missing it).
I certainly seem to be rolling thru the common errors as I learn this platform, lol, I must have posted 30 times today on this package.
Explanation would be magical.
