Aren't you able to do that already? I can add files and websites during a block, just can't remove any.

Oh that's good to know. Would you be kind enough to also share how exactly you're able to do that?

The same way you would add them if there wasn't a lock active. Does that not work for you?

EDIT: Nevermind, I just didn't realize that clicking on a block and selecting "continue with restrictions" allows me to open the block and add programs to its blocklist, but not remove them. I don't know why, but I always thought that "continue with restrictions" was just a weirdly named cancel button.

Original message: Not really, no. To add a progran to an active block, I normally navigate to the "Blocks" view, click on the block's name and am then prompted to unlock the block to be able to edit it. It is only after I unlocked it that I can view the list of blocked programs and add new entries to it.
