Description
Hey @elliotcondon,
Just I want to notice you about this issue. If I click on the "Undo" or "Redo" button of the block editor, the changes of ACF block are not undone.

Is this functionality even possible with ACF blocks?
If this is not possible, then should the "Undo" or "Redo" buttons be hidden, always when editing a ACF block?

Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported behavior in the WordPress block editor with an ACF block, using the linked recording as the expected scenario. Trace how the editor handles Undo and Redo for ACF block changes; done means those changes are correctly restored, or the issue clearly determines whether the controls should be hidden.
