When to Use Compact Layout

The Compact Layout is specifically designed for scenarios where screen real estate is limited or the visual hierarchy needs to prioritize simplicity. Consider using this layout in the following situations:

• Long Changelogs: When you have an extensive history of releases and want to reduce the total height of the page.
• Overview Pages: If your page requires a brief summary of updates rather than a full-feature display.
• Small Containers: When embedding changelogs within sidebars, narrow widgets, or limited-width layout sections.

How to Enable Compact Layout

Switching your Release Hub block to the Compact Layout is a straightforward process within the WordPress Gutenberg editor. Follow these steps to apply the styling:

• Select the Release Hub block in your editor.
• Navigate to the block settings in the sidebar.
• Locate the Releases Options panel.
• Change the Layout Style dropdown setting to Compact.
• Click Update to save your changes and apply the new design to the frontend.

This setting change is immediate and will apply to all releases currently pulled into the block, providing a consistent, organized viewing experience for your end users.
