Well done, Wes! Very easy to follow!

Specific Feedback

• 2:22 The voice over says, "query loops are used to display posts". Possibly add that pages and other content can be displayed as well with the query block?
• Using the Block Directory and your examples were clear and easy to follow/duplicate. Going over the users ability to modify the newly inserted patterns is great.

Thank you for the feedback @nomad-skateboarding-dev

Similar to the other videos, it'd be helpful to zoom way in when showing sidebars of any sort to help the user see exactly what you are clicking on. However, I'd still say publishing this makes sense. Just a thought for future videos.

Thank you very much @courtneyr-dev

6.3 adds synced patterns and removes reusable blocks. https://make.wordpress.org/core/2023/04/05/whats-new-in-gutenberg-15-5-05-april/#patterns-as-template-starters

[courtneyr-dev]

Reusable blocks: Rename to 'Patterns' and add the option to also add a non-synced Pattern (51144)
Patterns: Add renaming, duplication, and deletion options (52270)

I will start updating this tutorial next and aim to have it out for review by late next week.

[westnz]

I think I should create a separate tutorial about synced and unsynced patterns.
