Describe the bug

Hello, I'm trying to set root component for the editor as it was described here. Unfortunately, this is not working and I can edit all HTML content.

Thanks for your advice or fix that bug :)

How to reproduce the bug?

Create HTML with some divs
Set id or class to one div that you wants to be root layer
Set that id as root element to init method :

grapesjs.init({
  container: '#gjs',
  fromElement: 1,
  height: '100%',
  storageManager: { type: 0 },
  plugins: ['gjs-blocks-basic'],
  layerManager: {
    root: '#editable',
  },
});

You can edit all elements in editor

What is the expected behavior? All elements will be rendered, but only elements in root element will be editable

What is the current behavior? All elements are editable

Yeah, the LayerManager module itself has no documentation. Indeed it's on the waiting list for the refactoring and once it's done we can publish more about its usage and API documentation.

Anyway, I've seen your previous message about how you would like to use my demo example but with inverted logic (enabling only what is known). Well, I've tried it but unfortunately, I've spotted some issues I have to fix before. Once the next release is ready, I'll publish the demo example.

Yeah, I see the issue with the root configuration in LayerManager. The temporary fix would be to trigger the root change on render of the layers panel:

editor.on('run:core:open-layers', () => editor.Layers.setRoot('#editable'));

But anyway, the root of the LayerManager doesn't decide if your components are editable or not, its purpose here is only to change the root in the LayerManager UI panel.

If you need to disable parts of your template, this is probably what you're looking for: https://jsfiddle.net/artur_arseniev/w6mvq4bx/

Thank you for your answer. It would be nice to have some documentation of what is root element because only mentions are in PR/issues.
