+### getBlockEditingMode
+
+Returns the block editing mode for a given block.
+
+The mode can be one of three options:
+
+-   `'disabled'`: Prevents editing the block entirely, i.e. it cannot be selected.
+-   `'contentOnly'`: Hides all non-content UI, e.g. auxiliary controls in the toolbar, the block movers, block settings.
+-   `'default'`: Allows editing the block as normal.
+
+Blocks can set a mode using the `useBlockEditingMode` hook.
+
+The mode is inherited by all of the block's inner blocks, unless they have their own mode.
+
+A template lock can also set a mode. If the template lock is `'contentOnly'`, the block's mode is overridden to `'contentOnly'` if the block has a content role attribute, or `'disabled'` otherwise.

+
+Allows a block to restrict the user interface that is displayed for editing that block and its inner blocks.

 ### useBlockProps
 
 This hook is used to lightly mark an element as a block element. The element should be the outermost element of a block. Call this hook and pass the returned props to the element to mark as a block. If you define a ref for the element, it is important to pass the ref to this hook, which the hook in turn will pass to the component through the props it returns. Optionally, you can also pass any other props through this hook, and they will be merged and returned.
