Sharing Buttons: "Likes and Sharing" location via the Jetpack Settings button in Gutenframe is extremely confusing.

[cecoates]

Steps to reproduce

1. Starting at URL: https://wordpress.com/block-editor/page/
2. Click the settings gear to open the settings sidebar.
3. Look for discussion options.
4. Sharing checkboxes are missing.

What I expected

For the sharing/discussion options to be located in the page settings area the same as the majority of other options.

What happened instead

You need to click the Jetpack icon in the top right to expose those options, which many users don't even realize is a part of their site. Or that the settings panel can be closed/opened at all.

Generally the only time WP.com users click in the top right is if they want to activate the classic editor.

Closing the Jetpack settings sidebar also closes the sidebar entirely. Meaning if you previously had the settings sidebar open, it's now closed as well.

At the time, the Gutenberg core team was discouraging the document level inspector for things like this, and wanted folks to treat plugins on the editor more like apps.

However, it seems they have since added a PluginDocumentSettingPanel SlotFill, so this is now technically possible.
