Missing option for external media

    I have downloaded, installed and activated the plugin and everything seems to be OK, but I do not see any option for inserting an image from outside the media library. When I add a block for an Image I have the options of “Upload”/”MediaLibrary”/”Insert from URL” as usual. If I upload the image it gets stored in the library as usual. I miss a short explanation of “how to do” (maybe an example).

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Inserting external URLs is (currently) only possible outside the Block Editor. You should still see a note “Add external files here” if, for example, you insert an image block and want to upload an image there:

    View post on imgur.com

    The link will take you back to the backend, where you will find an input field for the URLs under Media > Add New Media File:

    View post on imgur.com

    I have tried to make the entries as simple and clear as possible to avoid the need for a HowTo. You are obviously looking for it in the block editor. Do you at least see the above link there?
