When selecting Add Block you will get a menu with multiple drop-down options. Those options contain the different Block types you are able to use. The first option you will notice is the Most Used section.

The 'Most Used' Blocks are your most commonly used blocks.  These will change over time the more you use Gutenberg Blocks.

The next section of Blocks is the Common Blocks. The Common Blocks section will be similar to the Most Used section as those blocks are commonly the most used.  You can see the Common Blocks by selecting the down arrow of the Common Blocks option on the right-hand side.

The final section is the Embed section. With the Embed Blocks, you have a number of options to embed content in your post. For instance, if you would like to add a link to a specific video to your post you can use the YouTube embed Block and then enter the video URL to add the content to your site.
