Comment (by davelo):

 @travisburch first thing: use the keyboard arrows to easily switch between
 blocks; and go to the needed reusable block.
 Second tip: check if you have reusable blocks inside reusable blocks.
 Cause that can get really messy. You can see that in the Block List View.


 The way how you handle reusable blocks; like every image inside a reusable
 block. I wouldn't advise to do this cause... well, it's just unreliable at
 the moment. Plus, the UX for seeing reusable blocks is super hard, things
 can get quickly turn into a mess.
 I would advise to set those logo's inside a group, and make that a
 reusable block.


 As i said in this ticket: reusable blocks is the best but most underrated
 & ubderworked feature in Gutenberg.

 If the core team is listening, i would suggest the next stuff:

 1. - always put an extra border around the reusable block (a on/off button
 would be okay for that border). If not wanted: read suggestion 3.

 2 - don't allow creating reusable blocks inside reusable blocks; that
 could crash pages. This must be priority.

 3 - build an indication in the gutenberg-header when the page has reusable
 blocks. Like a couloured bullet and then a number in it; hovering it gives
 a list view of reusable blocks. Click on it and you scroll to the selected
 reusable block. Because of this indication, users are less surprised when
 saving the page and suddenly see a notification of "saving a reusable
 block".
