If I understand correctly, the separate Synced Patterns tab was removed on purpose in Gutenberg 16.7:

• Patterns: merge unsynced into inserter patterns tab and add paging and filtering WordPress/gutenberg#54007

Currently it is confusing that synced patterns are in a separate tab, and also causes performance issues because patterns are not paged.

• Removes the synced patterns tab from inserter
• Updates the store patterns selector to get synced and unsynced patterns so both display in the existing patterns tab
• Adds paging to the patterns list to account for large numbers of synced patterns in some sites
• Adds a filter to allow users to limit pattern list to just theme, or user patterns, and another filter when user patterns selected to limit to synced or unsynced patterns

📌 ACTIONS

• Closed as by design
