Builder Basics: Goodbye Reusable Blocks—Hello Synced Patterns (and more)

Reusable blocks are a powerful way to save and reuse content across your site. In WordPress 6.3, reusable blocks will be renamed to "synced patterns." This change reflects the unification of reusable blocks and traditional block patterns (unsynced patterns) within the Editor, which will streamline workflows, enhance the content creation experience, and set the stage for future enhancements in WordPress 6.4.

In this online workshop, we will explore this exciting change as well as new functionality for creating custom patterns and managing them in the Site Editor.

Learning Objectives

• Understand the difference between synced and unsynced patterns
• Learn how to create patterns from within the Editor
• Learn how to manage patterns
• Learn tips and tricks that you can apply to your synced and unsynced patterns

What is Builder Basics?

The WordPress Editor is a blank canvas that allows us to express our creativity and design beautiful layouts using blocks. However, building with blocks is a paradigm shift from traditional website design. Sometimes it can be challenging to know where to start, especially in the context of the Site Editor.

In the “Builder Basics” series, we will attempt to demystify components of the building experience. From a deep dive into the Query block to an exploration of block alignment and spacing, you’ll learn to master the basics of modern WordPress design. While some familiarity with the Editor is recommended, these sessions are designed for all skill levels.
