"The WordPress Block Editor enables browser-based design. That's leaps and bounds from where the old Classic Editor fell short. It may eliminate the need for a page builder plugin in some cases. That's all good news. However, it's also tricky for web developers hoping to prevent their clients from accidentally breaking a layout. It's all too easy to delete a component or drag one to a different spot. Oh, the horror!"
"Preserve your work by saving it as a block pattern. It only takes a few seconds and allows you to reuse custom layouts at any time. This means you can easily restore a layout if something goes wrong. That's simpler than trying to piece things back together or clean up a royal mess. Even better, you can export block patterns and save them locally."
The WordPress Block Editor supports saving custom block layouts as reusable block patterns, enabling quick restoration and reuse across pages and sites. Exporting patterns to local files preserves originals and allows re-importing if layouts are broken. Patterns can be named, categorized, and accessed through the Appearance > Design menu. The Lock feature prevents blocks from being moved, edited, or removed, reducing accidental layout changes caused by drag-and-drop or List View edits. Combining block patterns with block locking protects designs while preserving flexibility for intentional edits. Patterns can be shared between sites or bundled into plugins to ensure consistent layouts across projects.
