Just to make sure I understand this correctly and can try to reproduce: are you doing the steps in the classic editor? Or are you looking for the Gutenberg equivalent of link options from the classic editor?

The plugin regularly gets updated, but it’s still in development and not part of core yet. The previous explanation given and workaround proposed still applies. You can follow along with the development in respect to your specific issue here, to see when progress is made and when it gets added.

In the Gutenberg editor, are the options you’re looking for not found either at the bottom of the content or at the bottom of the settings panel (cog icon) under Document settings? In my tests, both classic editor panels and plugin panels (except for the custom fields panel) defaults to being show in Gutenberg in one of those places (and then you can rearrange them with drag and drop).

Also noting that a modal equivalent of the screen options settings is being discussed in Github here.

Hi! Unfortunately I don’t have a solution for you can, but I can note that this issue has been reported in GitHub where the following reply was posted:

Comment by Otto42:

This is because wp_trim_excerpt() in core does not know about Gutenberg yet.

In WordPress 4.9, the editor creates images by using the caption shortcode. Content it creates will look like this (shortened for brevity):

[caption id= ... ] Caption here[/caption]

In Gutenberg, images created by the image or gallery blocks look like this:

<figure class= ... ><img src="..." /><figcaption>Caption here</figcaption></figure>

The wp_trim_excerpt function in core generates the automatic excerpt from content. It calls the strip_shortcodes() function on that content at one point. The old way has shortcodes for captions, the new way does not.

So, this is really more of a problem that will need to be addressed in core when Gutenberg is merged.

It is unfortunately not possible for the time being. Publicize is a Jetpack feature, and integrating the feature with Gutenberg is in progress (You can follow the progress here).

The classic editor is the default editor until your site is updated to WordPress version 5.0. Then the Gutenberg editor will become the default editor (in core, not as a plugin – though ‘Gutenberg’ will still exist as a plugin for development purposes).

If you want to continue using the classic editor as your default editor after 5.0, you can install the classic editor plugin – you don’t have to do it before 5.0 lands.

It sounds like you might be having the same issue as me, where it’s a problem with your theme using an old version of acf pro causing issues with adding a featured image in the editor – like here https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/8430 and here https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/7524

I’m most excited about the reusable blocks! That’s an awesome feature. I’m currently using them for the sign off at the end of my post, disclaimer and links I want to keep updated without going through old posts, as well as for templates for when I create recipes and such.
I also like the custom HTML/the fact that it’s possible to edit HTML on a per block basis instead of the whole thing (but since it’s possible to add custom classes in block settings, I don’t need to as often).
Working with tables is also easier compared to the classic editor – and columns is a nice addition!
What I’m missing most from Gutenberg is maybe some sort of template block – sorta like the reusable blocks, but with placeholder text/instructions.
Otherwise, I’m most excited to see what new plugins will be created on top of this ??
