Huge thank you to everyone who wrote and reviewed Dev Notesdev note Each important change in WordPress Core is documented in a developers note, (usually called dev note). Good dev notes generally include a description of the change, the decision that led to this change, and a description of how developers are supposed to work with that change. Dev notes are published on Make/Core blog during the beta phase of WordPress release cycle. Publishing dev notes is particularly important when plugin/theme authors and WordPress developers need to be aware of those changes.In general, all dev notes are compiled into a Field Guide at the beginning of the release candidate phase. for the editor. It’s been fabulous collaborating with everyone! For quick reference, a complete list of posts and misc dev notes is available as a comment on the Dev Note tracking issue.

In the past few weeks, a lot of refinement has gone into the Site Editor, specifically the new Navigation panel coming in 6.2. As with all things related to navigation, some issues have cropped up. Navigation is hard, We are working on identifying what can be punted and what is critical for 6.2. We have made good progress but are not quite there yet. Hopefully, by the end of the day, we should have more clarity.

What I find difficult in adding the Navigation panel in the side editor browse sidebarSidebar A sidebar in WordPress is referred to a widget-ready area used by WordPress themes to display information that is not a part of the main content. It is not always a vertical column on the side. It can be a horizontal rectangle below or above the content area, footer, header, or any where in the theme. to WP 6.2. Is that it is so new and that a lot of things are showing up that are for me not consistent with how it works inside the template…

See additional discussion on Slack of the sidebar browse navigation feature.
