Think full site editing is just one feature? Think again! This video breaks down how full site editing is actually a collection of elements working together to create the complete block theme experience.
The foundation is blocks – elements that take data and produce HTML for both content and functionality. In a true block theme, every single element on your page is a block, making everything editable through the site editor.
These blocks work through four key APIs: the registry (for creating and extending blocks), settings (controlling customization options), styles (managing appearance), and editing (enabling content creation).
Whether you’re working with theme.json files or using the visual site editor interface, you’re interacting with these same foundational APIs that power the entire full site editing experience.
