 * How do I-
    - label a block for sharing?
    - Add a category to the block to make it easier to find and dynamically share?
 * BTW the usability of the ADD BLOCK is extremely challenging. I can’t imagine 
   how quickly it will become unmanagable.

 * Hi,
 * When you select the option to convert a block to a shared block there’s a Name
   field under the block (it should automatically get focused so you can start naming
   it right away).
 * You can also rename the shared block by hitting the `Edit` button under the block.
 * There’s not currently any existing pans for category-management of shared blocks,
   I think we’ll need to see how widely they are used through testing to see if 
   there’s a large need for this.

 * Just thought I’d drop a line that I was looking this over and see other cases
   where this might be useful, and as such made a ticket at [https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/7608](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/7608),
   if you’re interested in following along.
