WordPress 6.2 Features
Site Editor
The site editor has had a facelift, with a new interface making it easier for you to preview your template and edit your site from any page.
Managing Menus with a Block
You will no longer edit your menus in the sidebar, and instead use the navigation block to add, remove and reorder menu items.
Block Themes
There are new templates for header and footers.
Distraction Free Mode
This feature is ideal for content creators and blog writers, allowing you to hide all panels and controls whilst writing and creating.
Site Style Book
You can now quickly view how every block will look in your site, all in one glance.
Copy & Paste Styles
Exactly what it says on the tin. You can easily copy and paste styles to other blocks with the click of a button.
Custom CSS
Another welcome feature, allowing designers to add custom CSS to your website for a little extra creativity.
Importing Widgets
This new feature helps you to import your favourite widgets easily from classic themes to block themes.
