“What’s new in GutenbergGutenbergThe Gutenberg project is the new Editor Interface for WordPress.

This release includes 171 PRs from 56 contributors, and includes several exciting features such as an improved Site Editor user experience and a new command tool with a pending name.
To access it, simply open the Site Editor and use the keyboard shortcut Cmd+k on Mac or Ctrl+k on Windows. Once opened, you will discover a range of commands that enable swift navigation, content creation, and more.
