Thanks for reporting this, @aliibrahim123.

Thanks for sharing your report about style manager not working(styles has no effect). To help the team investigate and prioritize this:

Please provide:

  1. A minimal reproducible example (CodeSandbox/JSFiddle)
  2. Your GrapesJS version number
  3. Browser and OS information
  4. Any error messages from the browser console
  5. Steps to reproduce the issue

What helps most:

  • Minimal code example (not your full project)
