InnerBlocks layouts - no controls show

[virgiliud]

I assigned layout as an object to InnerBlocks and no controls are presented to the user in the editor.

<InnerBlocks layouts={ {
	normal: { label: 'Normal Width', icon: 'align-center' },
	wide: { label: 'Width Width', icon: 'align-wide' },
} } />

I am using Gutenberg 3.7.0

• Framework: Deprecate grouped inner blocks layouts #7841
• Blocks: Support block nesting (Add Columns block, InnerBlocks component) #3745

It was originally a goal of InnerBlocks to support automated UI generation, i.e. present controls to the user to switch layout regions. This was never implemented, and in #7841 the documentation was updated to avoid confusion on this point. Currently it is the responsibility of the block to implement its own controls and assign to the layout attribute.

I am okay to leave this issue remain open as a two-pronged question:

• Is the layouts concept still desirable?
• And if so, should controls be generated automatically for each layout?

I can't see layouts prop in InnerBlocks definition. It would mean this issue should be closed, @jorgefilipecosta or @aduth, can you confirm?

It can be closed. The layouts concept was removed in #11029.
