This video goes through smaller but still impactful features and improvements coming in WordPress 6.5, set to be released on April 2nd, 2024 (following a 1 week delay). This is truly just a glimpse! Drag & drop improvements could have an entire video dedicated to it alone. Here’s what I cover:

0:18 - 0:37 See outline of editable blocks
0:37 - 1:05 Show a preview of your template or turn it off.
1:05 - 1:18 Right click on List View to show block options.
1:18 - 1:55 Use the block toolbar while in distraction free mode.

2:13 - 2:52 Drag & drop an image next to another and it automatically transforms into a gallery.
2:52 - 3:07 Rename almost all blocks in List View for better organization.
3:07 - 3:32 Set a gallery to randomly change the order of the images shown on each page load.
3:32 - 4:11 Enjoy faster editing experience across the board.
4:11 - 4:49 See a summary of style changes when you save in the Site Editor.
4:49 - 5:00 View your site quickly after saving thanks to an updated snacker notice.
