On any page, you can insert them by clicking the “+” button on the top left side of the page.
You can click on any of the blocks to insert it or drag it onto the page, or into a section of the page.
Block Patterns
Block patterns are a predefined collection of one or more blocks that you can easily insert into your WordPress posts, pages, full site editing templates, and more.
Block patternsare essentially pre-made templates in a way – you insert the "template" into the editor and then customize it as much as needed.
Once you insert a block pattern, you can fully customize it with your own content to make it unique. Any changes that you make to the block pattern after inserting it only apply to that piece of content.
How to insert a pattern
To use a block pattern, you'll insert it into the editor using the built-in pattern explorer.
To navigate between categories, select one from the left side of the modal that pops up. Select a pattern to insert it on the page.
Then, you'll be able to fully customize all of the content and design settings just as if you'd created the design from scratch.
Page/Post Settings Sidebar
The Post/Page Sidebar (also called Document Settings) is part of the WordPress Editor on pages and posts. Located on the right side of the Editor screen, this panel is used to customize key aspects of the content being published.
How to open Page/Post Settings
In the upper-right corner of the WordPress Editor, select the gear icon. This toggles the sidebar. Within the sidebar, the left tab features the settings for the entire Page or Post you’re working on. The right tab is focused on the individual Block selected.
Themes and plugins may alter which settings appear in your sidebar.
