My Patterns

... (cut) ...

If you click on the Actions (three dots icon) button next to each pattern, you will see options to rename, duplicate, export as JSON or delete that pattern.

Create new patterns

There is a create patterns (+) icon next to the Patterns sidebar title you can click on to create new patterns. If you click on it, you will see three options: Create pattern, Create template part, and Import pattern from JSON.

Create pattern

Specify the pattern name that describes what it’s for, and optionally assign the pattern to a category. Also, toggle the Synched option if you want to create Synced pattern.

Create template part

Specify the template part name that describes what it’s for, and select an area of your site for your new template part: General, Header, or Footer.

Import pattern from JSON

Select the exported JSON file. To export a pattern, select Export as JSON from patterns Actions (three dots icon) button.

Highlighted in Docs triage meeting November 14, 2023 for reviews needed to move this high priority item forward.

[abhansnuk]

First review completed. Thanks for all your time and work and reviewing the task itself @atachibana

#1204 (comment)
On this text, can we link 'eliipsis' to this definition https://make.wordpress.org/docs/style-guide/punctuation/ellipses/ ?

[atachibana]

@abhansnuk
The "ellipsis" in the comment refers to the shape of the icon, and does not imply the omission mentioned in the style guide.
However, thinking about it, it is indeed ambiguous, so I would like to explicitly change the "ellipsis" to "three dots icon". Thanks.

2nd review done, added alt text to some images and changed the subheadings to sentence-case
