The document discusses the Gutenberg plugin for WordPress and how it will change the editor interface. Some key points: - The Gutenberg plugin will become part of the WordPress core in version 5.0. - It aims to provide a more flexible editing environment compared to the traditional TinyMCE editor, allowing features like drop caps, backgrounds, and pull quotes to be easily added to content. - However, some are concerned it may provide too much flexibility or disrupt existing site designs. - The document provides resources for learning more about Gutenberg and keeping up with its development.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/gutenberg/
● Phase 1 will be a part of core WordPress in
version 5.0
● Keep checking for updates:
make.wordpress.org/core
Coming soon!

3. ● Should work straight out the box, or needs to
be switched on in theme
● Anything which doesn’t work should have an
appropriate fallback
● Can be switched off if necessary -
e.g. Classic Editor plugin
https://wordpress.org/plugins/classic-editor/
Don’t panic!
