The concept of accessible design ensures both “direct access” (i.e. unassisted) and “indirect access” meaning compatibility with a person’s assistive technology (for example, computer screen readers). (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accessibility) and writing flow There are a few improvements that contribute to a better editing experience: * The Image and Media&Text blocks properly show the pressed state for the link button in the blockBlock Block is the abstract term used to describe units of markup that, composed together, form the content or layout of a webpage using the WordPress editor.

[[ _New block spacing control in the quote block._ ## Other notable highlights * Escape on Block Toolbar returns focus to Editor Canvas ([55712](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/55712)). * Continue polishing the global styles revisionsRevisions The WordPress revisions system stores a record of each saved draft or published update. The revision system allows you to see what changes were made in each revision by dragging a slider (or using the Next/Previous buttons). The display indicates what has changed in each revision.: return the user to the editor and global styles panel after a revision is applied ([55881](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/55881)), improve copy text ([55868](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/55868)), load unsaved revision in the preview ([55880](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/55880)). * Patterns: in the front-end, they show embeds ([55979](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/55979)), and the site editor’s pattern page now shows theme patterns specified in `theme. json` ([55877](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/55877)). ## Changelog See full changelog. ### Enhancements #### Block Library * Navigation block: Fix Inaccurate description of the Show icon button setting.( [55429](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/55429)) * Query LoopLoop The Loop is PHP code used by WordPress to display posts.
