We currently do not show block previews when hovering over an item in the inserter on the Widgets screen. Implementing this would help clarify to the user what will be inserted, see #25959.

@noisysocks I would like to work on this issue, but I don't have a clear clue about where to start. When I look at the widget screen inserter sidebar, I can see that showInserterHelpPanel is present

gutenberg/packages/edit-widgets/src/components/secondary-sidebar/inserter-sidebar.js

Line 45 in 30689b8

showInserterHelpPanel

Shouldn't that shows the blocks previews on hover?

Hi @JustinyAhin. Yes that sounds right. You'll need to investigate why showInserterHelpPanel isn't working in this case. No doubt it's a bug. Try putting a breakpoint in InserterPreviewPanel to see what's going on.
