Gutenberg 15.8 (the plugin version) has some new features. They added the pages menu to the site editor, the revisions UI to the global styles interface, and Theme Previews for block themes. These features will be included in WordPress 6.3 in August.

For those who haven’t worked with theme templates – Assigning the home and blog pages can be confusing for new users jumping into the Site Editor and block themes, so Jamie Marsland made this explainer video on how to do it.

Block themes lack responsive controls by device size in the Site Editor. In this article Mike McAlister, the developer of the new Ollie block theme, discusses the current intrinsic design / fluid scaling approach and suggests a way that responsive overrides might be implemented.

From the WebTNG newsletter comes an in-depth editorial looking at block themes and discussing reactions to Gutenberg and the Site Editor. The author suggests that viewing Gutenberg as a “dumpster fire” is a fallacy.
