[DEPRECATED] App Canvas label block

Label canvas blocks are currently deprecated and will be sunset on February 24th 2023

What’s changing?

The label app canvas block type is being deprecated. The label block type was introduced early in App Canvas development, and is being deprecated in favor of the more robust markdown block type. Going forward, markdown block types should be used in place of label blocks.

When label block types are fully sunset, Benchling will perform a migration on all existing label blocks to convert them to markdown blocks.

When is this happening?

label blocks are now marked as deprecated, and will be fully sunset on February 24th 2023
