Block Manager R8 vs R7

Hi all

A lot of new cool stuff on the latest rhino. Still looking into all the new functionalities.

One thigs that has changed is the block manager was wondering if they have the same functionality. I am missing all these options.

In the new block manager. It has some hidden on the side.

But not the same.

I’m basically trying to access the blocks in a worksession. If I update the block inside the work session I can see it updated in the file that is worksessioned. But it seems the block instances in the live file don’t get updated since when I reference them into grasshopper I can see they are still the same as when I loaded the file the first time.

I have a feeling the blocks in the live file get loaded the first time the worksession loads and then that’s how they stay even if the worksession file gets updated, but might be wrong.

Any pointers would be much appreciated
