Explore and edit your site from the Site Editor
An updated interface gives you more control over your site editing experience. Browse through full previews of your templates and template parts, then jump into editing your site from wherever you choose.
Manage your menu in more ways with the Navigation block
A new sidebar experience makes it easier to edit your site’s navigation. Add, remove, and reorder menu items faster—no matter how complex your menus are.
Discover a smoother experience for the Block Inserter
A refreshed design gives you more visibility and easier access to the content you need. Use the Media tab to drag and drop content from your existing Media Library quickly. Find patterns faster with a split view that lets you navigate categories and see previews all at once.
Find the controls you want when you need them
Your block settings sidebar is better organized with tabs for Settings and Styles. So the tools you need are easy to identify and access.
Build faster with headers and footers for block themes
Discover a new collection of header and footer patterns to choose from. Use them with any block theme as a quick, high-quality starting point for your site’s templates.
Explore Openverse media right from the Editor
Openverse’s library catalogs over 600 million free, openly licensed stock images and audio—and now it’s directly integrated into the Editor.
Focus on writing with Distraction Free mode
For those times you want to be alone with your ideas. You can now hide all your panels and controls, leaving you free to bring your content to life.
Experience the Site Editor, now out of beta
Stable and ready for you to dive in and explore: 6.2 is your personal invitation to discover what the next generation of WordPress—and Block themes—can do.
