 Specifying this prop does not affect the layout of the inner blocks, but results in the block mover icons in the child blocks being displayed horizontally, and also ensures that drag and drop works correctly.
 
+## Default Block
+
+By default `InnerBlocks` opens a list of permitted blocks via `allowedBlocks` when the block appender is clicked. You can modify the default block and its attributes that are inserted when the initial block appender is clicked by using the `defaultBlock` property. For example:
+
+```js
+<InnerBlocks defaultBlock={['core/paragraph', {placeholder: "Lorem ipsum..."}]} directInsert />
+```
+
+By default this behavior is disabled until the `directInsert` prop is set to `true`. This allows you to specify conditions for when the default block should or should not be inserted.
