@Leonardus-Nugraha, did you have the chance to make any progress with this?

Adding some details which I have noticed while testing the Beta

Once after adding the Group Block, we can select the layout we prefer for the block. The layouts are the following:

1. Group - It helps to gather blocks in a container
2. Row - Arrange blocks horizontally
3. Stack - Arrange blocks vertically
