  1. Hi, there is a data when the block will come to the product page? It will be great and give us much more customization to the product discription

      Hi, if you mean the single product page, then there is no date set yet. As far as I know, one of the teams in Woo is going to work on exploration soon and plans to work on the implementation this summer.

  2. I really hate this versioning.
