Converting single use blocks into shared blocks easily
Currently blocks created for a specific page cannot be covered into shared blocks. (Shared blocks can be covered into single use block). Therefore if we want to convert the single use of block into a shared block, we will have to create a shared block from the scratch. This functionality is available in other headless CMSs and I believe it's useful.

Totally agree with this request!
As editors we cannot always predict whether a block will need to be reused in the future. And since in SaaS there's no way to copy an inline block from one page to another or make an inline block shared without having to recreate it from scratch, this results in redundant work and takes a significant amount of time!
Use case example:
We create a large FAQ block specifically for page X, so we create it as inline block. Later, we create page Y, where we want to reuse some of these FAQs. Since the FAQs were originally created for page X, we now have to manually recreate them for page Y or as a shared block. This results in redundant work and takes a significant amount of time.(In PaaS, we always use the "For this Page/Block" folder to copy content since all inline blocks are stored there, but this is not the case anymore in SaaS)
