Linking a Button
To add a link to your button, click on the Link option that shows in the toolbar. You will be able to paste your link or search the existing pages and posts of your site.
By default, links will open in the same tab unless you choose the option to set the link to open in a new tab.

Block Settings Panel
Every block has additional options in the editor sidebar, as well as the options found in the block toolbar. If you do not see the sidebar click the ‘gear’ icon next to the Publish button.
Styles

In the Styles options, you can set the button to be filled with a color (Fill) or have a solid border (Outline).
Color Settings

You can choose the text and background colors for your buttons.
Select colors that will make the button stand out and make sure to find a nice contrast for readability purposes. Accessibility parameters are built into the new editor to warn you when the text may become illegible for persons with reading impairments.
Border Radius

The border radius option allows you to give your buttons a more rounded appearance. Setting this to 0 means the button has sharp edges.
Width settings

The width settings allow you to define the width of each button in percentage terms.
Advanced

The advanced tab lets you add a CSS class to your block, allowing you to write custom CSS and style the block as you see fit. Learn more.
