This needs community feedback early well ahead of WordPress 6.8 so we can find the right approach for opt in/out for the Style book for classic themes. * 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. The idea combines concepts of what in the past may have achieved with shortcodes, custom HTML, and embed discovery into a single consistent API and user experience. Bindings: [iteration issue has been opened for WordPress 6.8](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/67520#top). * Block HooksHooks In WordPress theme and development, hooks are functions that can be applied to an action or a Filter in WordPress. Actions are functions performed when a certain event occurs in WordPress. Filters allow you to modify certain functions. Arguments used to hook both filters and actions look the same.: a PR was merged that [brings block hooks to post content](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/67272), expanding the initial version that applied just to templates. * Components: new issue opened to [unify all the different box control components that we have in the code base.](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/67625) * Responsive controls: Please chime in on [Columns: add min and max width settings for responsive control ](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/40870) to share feedback about what you’d like to see here. In particular, it would be helpful to have some folks explain how you would achieve this with regular CSSCSS Cascading Style Sheets. to get a clearer idea of what settings/block supports need to be implemented. * [Standardize Block Inspector Settings to use ToolsPanel ](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/67813#top) is underway with loads of new issues opened to better unify how we group controls, opting to use `ToolsPanel` over the prior `PanelBody.` * Style book: PR opened to [add button interactive states in the Style book](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/67541#top), progressively expanding how valuable the Style book is! And a new icon is being explored by design in [Revisit the Style Book icon](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/67980#top). * Zoom out: [Replace Starter Content modal with inserter panel PR](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/66836) continues to progress, utilizing zoom out for new page creation.
