Yes! However, not all block types are enabled by default. Controls are only provided to blocks that can be added directly to a page/post by the block inserter. Therefore, some specialized blocks, such as child blocks, are not included by default. An example being the individual Column block that is part of the larger Columns block.

That said, you can enable Full Control Mode in the plugin settings. This removes all restrictions and adds conditional visibility controls to every block. You probably will not need Full Control Mode in most cases, but it is there if you do!

As of version 1.4.0, Block Visibility is supported in the Site Editor, which is provided by Full Site Editing. Note that you will currently need the Gutenberg plugin and a Full Site Editing theme to make use of this functionality. Full Site Editing is still very much in development and you may find bugs or compatibility issues when using this plugin in the Site Editor. If you do, please let us know in the plugin support forum. We are committed to ensuring 100% compatibility by the time Full Site Editing is included in WordPress core.

Visibility is controlled primarily on the server, so if a block should be hidden based on the set block controls, it will not even be rendered. This ensures the plugin does not load any additional resources on the frontend of your site, thereby optimizing performance.

The **one exception** to this is the Screen Size block controls. Visibility by screen size requires the use of CSS, which is loaded to the frontend of your site if, and only if, these controls are enabled. You can opt to disable this CSS and add the necessary yourself.
