In Yoast SEO Premium, we’ve fixed a bug where our Table of Contents block would prevent editing a post in Gutenberg.

Hi, I love your plugin but there is a feature that you seriously need to redesign and update it “TOC”. Your table of content is so poorly formatted and designed that nobody is using it. I even switched to other plugin (+-/*) I don’t want to call it by name but they have a great TOC feature, which also allows editing the ToC content.
