WordPress 6.2 will be the first major release of 2023 when it drops on Tuesday, March 28. With significant enhancements to the Site and Block Editor interfaces, the 6.2 release also marks the end of the Site Editor’s Beta phase and the beginning of the end of the second phase of the Gutenberg project. Gutenberg’s phase two has focused on Full Site Editing customization options, and WordPress 6.2 shows just how much has been delivered! Looking ahead to WordPress 6.3, Gutenberg development will turn toward collaboration features — writing, editing, and site-building with two or more simultaneously active users.
The Site Editing Experience Shines in WordPress 6.2
With WordPress 6.2, you’ll be able to customize blocks globally or individually faster than ever before. Navigating through page templates to edit them and their sub-components is much easier now, thanks to a new Browse Mode in the site editing experience. Internal previews and a Style Book make it possible to see your changes live before saving them. That’s not all — WordPress 6.2 brings big performance gains, a new distraction-free writing mode, a redesigned and lockable navigation block, new header and footer patterns, numerous interface enhancements, and many conveniences for developers.
