<p><strong>Create Patterns in the Block Editor</strong></p>
<p>Creating Patterns that you can easily re-use on your site or on other sites has never been easier. After installing the Accelerate Patterns plugin you can use the WordPress Block Editor to create your Patterns.</p>
<p>You can quickly create Patterns from the My Patterns editor. Just select any block or blocks (core and premium blocks), style them however you want, then click the “Create Pattern” button that the Accelerate Patterns plugin adds to the top toolbar. The new design will then be stored in your Patterns library.</p>
<p>You can also easily create a Pattern from a Post or Page you are working on.  Just click on the first block and then hold the shift key and click on the last block you want to include. Then click the Create Pattern button in the editor toolbar.</p>
<p>You can create full pages, layouts, and blocks that can all be saved as reusable Patterns.</p>
<p><strong>Build Out a Library of Custom Patterns</strong></p>
<p>You can build out an unlimited number of Patterns that you can always access from your Library or export to a new site. Create custom categories for your Patterns so you can keep them organized. You can even add searchable descriptions.</p>
<p><strong>Preview, Manage & Edit Your Patterns</strong></p>
<p>You can preview your Patterns and even edit them within the My Patterns editor.</p>
<p>Use Your Patterns in the WordPress Pattern Inserter/Explorer</p>
<p>You can insert your Patterns from the Patterns tab/drop-down in the inserter, or click the Explore button to access them from the explorer. Once inserted you can edit the blocks without affecting the Pattern.</p>

<p><em>Note: Pattern Manager is currently in beta.</em></p>
<p>When you design beautiful block patterns for your theme, Pattern Manager by WP Engine will automatically push them into PHP files for you, every time you save. With a dedicated studio to design and build block patterns you can 10x your ability to work effectively with theme patterns.</p>
<h3>Who should use Pattern Manager by WP Engine</h3>
<p>Pattern Manager is designed to be used by theme developers and is not intended to create patterns on production sites. Please review our <a href="#faq-header" rel="nofollow ugc">FAQ</a> below.</p>

<li>Rename a pattern.</li>

<h3>Upon every “save” of a pattern, Pattern Manager will do the following:</h3>
<ul>
<li>Create/update the pattern PHP file on your disk, in your theme.</li>
<li>Find and replace all local image urls with the correct PHP tag.</li>
<li>Find and copy all image files used into your theme.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Additional Features</h3>
<h3>The Pattern Block: Put patterns inside patterns.</h3>
<p>Once you’ve built a lot of patterns, it makes sense to quickly combine them in various ways to make full-page patterns. An example of this might be a “Home Page” or “Landing Page” pattern that includes a call-to-action area, features area, testimonials, links, and more. Instead of re-creating each of those patterns inside your “Home Page” pattern, you can simply re-use them with the “Pattern Block”.</p>
<p>Here’s an example of how you’d make that “Full Page” pattern:<br />
 * Step 1: In Pattern Manager, click “Create New Pattern”.<br />
 * Step 2: Add the “Pattern Block” (note: this block is exclusively available in the Pattern Manager editor).<br />
 * Step 3: Choose a pattern you’ve already made (like testimonials, features, call-to-actions, etc).<br />
 * Step 4. Once inserted, repeat steps 2-3 until you have a “Full Page” pattern you like.</p>
<p>The best part about using the “Pattern Block” is maintaining your patterns. If you ever need to make a change to a pattern, you can update it in one place and it will be updated anywhere you used the Pattern Block, dynamically.</p>
<p>When one of your theme’s users inserts that “Full Page” pattern, because it’s using WordPress core’s pattern block, WordPress will automatically pull the separate patterns together into the Block Editor, ready for them to modify, just like any other pattern.</p>
