Columns block conversion workflow from 2 to 3 or 4 columns is not intuitive

[swarna24]

Problem

When using the Columns block in Gutenberg, changing an existing 2-column layout into a 3-column layout is not very intuitive.

Currently, users may need to recreate the block or manually adjust the structure, especially when content already exists inside the columns.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Add a Columns block with 2 columns
2. Insert content into both columns
3. Attempt to convert the layout into 3 columns

Expected Behavior

Users should have a simpler and more discoverable way to increase or decrease the number of columns while preserving existing content.

Current Behavior

The workflow feels difficult to discover and may encourage users to recreate the block manually.
