Problem
When using the Columns block in Gutenberg, changing an existing 2-column
layout into a 3-column layout is not very intuitive.
Currently, users may need to recreate the block or manually adjust the
structure, especially when content already exists inside the columns.
Steps to Reproduce
1. Add a Columns block with 2 columns
2. Insert content into both columns
3. Attempt to convert the layout into 3 columns
Expected Behavior
Users should have a simpler and more discoverable way to increase or
decrease the number of columns while preserving existing content.
Current Behavior
The workflow feels difficult to discover and may encourage users to
recreate the block manually.
Environment
* WordPress 7.0 Beta/RC
* Gutenberg Editor
* Tested on localhost
