+### Testing Blocks
+
+This release will introduce 3 blocks that we would like you to test:
+
+- A [Simple Payments](https://github.com/Automattic/jetpack/pull/10631/files) block.
+- A Map block.
+- A [Markdown](https://jetpack.com/support/markdown/) block.
+
+Try adding those blocks to your editor and playing with their different options. You will also want to make sure the blocks are only available when you need them:
+
+- when the feature is available on your site (for example, when you have a Premium plan in the case of the Simple Payments block).
+- when the feature is enabled on your site.
+
+We also integrated the Publicize feature to the sidebar that appears in the block editor whenever you click on the Publish button. Give it a try after adding a few Publicize connections to your site, and let us know if you run into any issues!
+
 **At any point during your testing, remember to [check your browser's JavaScript console](https://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Your_Browser_to_Diagnose_JavaScript_Errors#Step_3:_Diagnosis) and see if there are any errors reported by Jetpack there.**
