Providing the basic controls for adjusting the positioning and width of, for example, the button block
Introduction
Notion — Basic layout controls
In this scenario I've used the button block as the example, and is probably the best use case for this functionality, although you could expand it to at least in the beginning, to other basic blocks. If you then find you could add multiple or more styles to a block to the point it might become overwhelming for the user then check out this other idea which could be an approach to solve that.

New Sub Feature
Whilst it seems like a small addition or change it does give the user more control in how they want to build their Notion pages, but also it could be expanded further.
This could be used I imagine in many circumstances, for example, businesses that use a Notion page for a job description could have the apply button at the bottom set to fill.
Examples
Below are some examples of how expanding the styling of blocks could be used making Notion more versatile.
The ability to change the button width, the border color and width of the callout block, and the ability to group blocks together.
Businesses that utilize notion pages to write job pages could also utilize this feature if only in the button block. There is also possibly the idea of setting the positioning of the button to fixed/sticky but that might be more complex then needed.
