Custom view for block (Umbraco 14)

Hi! I am trying to figure out how to build custom view for blocks in umbraco 14. I am trying to follow https://docs.umbraco.com/umbraco-cms/fundamentals/backoffice/property-editors/built-in-umbraco-property-editors/block-editor/build-custom-view-for-blocks , but I just can't get it to work. In the youbue guide, Creating Custom Views for Blocks, it looks lik we can link directly to html (picture 1). But in Umbraco 14 it looks like we have to generate manifest for block type (picture 2) . This issue explains my question: https://github.com/umbraco/Umbraco-CMS/issues/16736 I have been reading this one as well: https://github.com/umbraco/Umbraco.CMS.Backoffice/pull/2065, but cannot figure it out. Is there any guides that can show how to do this more step by step? Or Do you have any tips on how I can learn this? 🙂 https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1285927298750742608/1285927299165851821/bilde.png?ex=66ec0c9f&is=66eabb1f&hm=5479174eff7953bec9bcd9e2fba9f131bac4998e6a645319c2691649f285c84b& https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1285927298750742608/1285927299908112487/bilde.png?ex=66ec0c9f&is=66eabb1f&hm=1e1caeef8a3b7b340005932d9c6923ec97e35b21ef37a6a7f21008b1b9e8193e&

@User May I suggest “folks” instead of "guys"? We use gender inclusive language in this Discord 😀

Custom Views were overhauled in V14 because of the switch from AngularJS to typescript & web components. But the documentation and youtube guides haven't been updated to help us out yet 😮‍💨 I also made a post about this (https://discord.com/channels/869656431308189746/1285278448591568937) and it was suggested that I use the BlockPreview plugin. It's not working for me so far, and overall a marketplace plugin isn't what I was looking for so my quest continues!! Let me know if you find anything 😁

I was surprised to discover the documentation for block views isn't there. We have an article updated for the new modern block views, but you can only find it through search at the moment. I have asked our Docs team to figure it out. Meanwhile, you can find the article here: https://docs.umbraco.com/umbraco-cms/tutorials/creating-custom-views-for-blocklist
