New Features and Improvements in The Block Editor
Back in late 2018, WordPress introduced a new writing experience with WordPress 5.0. This new writing interface is called the block editor (aka Gutenberg).
Since then, each new WordPress release brings tons of updates to the editor. WordPress 5.5 will come with many such improvements and new features that will enhance your writing experience several folds.
The following are just some of the enhancements that you may want to try out.
UI Improvements in Block Editor
WordPress 5.5 will come with major UI improvements to the block editor. You will notice borders around toolbars and buttons, new icons, and focus highlighting as you move across blocks while writing.
The (+) button for adding a new block has changed too and is now more noticeable and looks more like a button.
The New Block Directory
WordPress 5.5 will bring the new block directory to life. These are just WordPress plugins that add new blocks to the block editor, and there are already dozens of new blocks available.
The block directory is also built-in to the ‘Add New block’ search. You can simply search for a feature, and if there is no block that matches your search, then it will automatically show matching results from the block directory.
The block directory includes individual blocks. It does not include block library plugins which ship with multiple useful blocks that you can install.
Block Patterns coming in WordPress 5.5
WordPress 5.5 will introduce block patterns. They are ready-to-use blocks with commonly used settings to help you quickly add them to make layouts.
There are currently a handful of patterns already available. This will grow as plugins, WordPress themes, and the core continues registering more patterns.
Streamlined Block Navigation and Movement
WordPress 5.5 will also make it easier to move blocks around inside the content editor. You can simply click on the block handle and drag it up and down.
Another improvement is the ability to select the parent block in the nested blocks like the group or columns block.
Inline Image Editing
WordPress allows you to do some basic image editing like crop, resize, rotate, and scale. However, to do that you need to open the image in the media library.
WordPress 5.5 will allow you to edit images inline without leaving the block editor. You’ll be able to scale, crop, rotate, and resize an image on the spot.
