Synced pattern is a type of block pattern that enabled Synced option, and it will behave in exactly the same way as a reusable block. Editing the synced pattern will update it anywhere it is used. After creating a synced pattern, you can ‘detach’ it to a regular block, and edit the block without affecting your already saved synced pattern.
