Reusable blocks regression in WordPress 6.4

  • Up until WordPress 6.4, there was a button to “convert” a reusable block into an editable/non-linked one as soon as you inserted one of those in a post.

    Now, that’s hidden behind the three-dot menu, which takes two clicks to do instead of just one.

    Who thought that was a good idea and a better UI?! ??

    Thanks for sharing your feedback on this item, @rfischmann.

    The “Detach pattern” toolbar button was indeed removed in WP 6.4. Please refer to Gutenberg PR #53121 to see the reasoning and discussion around this change, and feel free to provide additional input.

    From what I understand, the heart of the decision was to balance simplifying the menu to avoid accidental “destructive” changes with how common this function is used. Community input is important, so please share your thoughts there ????

    Thanks for the link, @ironprogrammer, I’ll comment in there.

    Our team does use that function a lot, every single day. It was a big regression for us. ??
