Description

Section Styles have been introduced in Gutenberg 18.5 and will be included with WP 6.6, and they'll also be a part of the next default theme, Twenty Twenty-Five.

We should consider ways these can be managed via the UI, such as:

  • Allowing section styles to be created and edited in the Editor
  • Allowing section styles to be exported
  • Allowing block style variations to be exported
