Some notes for future reference as I go through evaluating what needs to be updated. Much of the following are very minor, more technical changes that don't greatly impact the integrity of the documentation from my point of view (new feature, new design, big new ability, etc). Some of these also were a part of 6.1, like this: WordPress/gutenberg#44858 and this: WordPress/gutenberg#44247

As a result, I'm going to focus on updating the following:

• Add a minHeight block support under dimensions Add a minHeight block support under dimensions gutenberg#45300 This was already available with the Cover block but has been expanded.
• ToolsPanel: Add subheadings and reset text to tools panel menu ToolsPanel: Add subheadings and reset text to tools panel menu gutenberg#44260
• SpacingSizesControl: Increase slider's max value to 300 (impacts padding and margin) SpacingSizesControl: Increase slider's max value to 300 gutenberg#44956

Updated a few screenshots/visuals, including a lower quality GIF with a video as that's more accessibility friendly and easier to see. I included some brief information about the minimum height pulled from the dev note as I think this is a bit confusing to use otherwise: https://make.wordpress.org/core/2023/03/06/minimum-height-dimensions-block-support/

The demonstration video was busted so I replaced it with the video from here: https://make.wordpress.org/core/2022/09/26/core-editor-improvement-catalyst-for-creativity/
