Newsletter sign-up block documentation and way it shows in blocks #60622

Open rickmgithub opened 2 years ago

Quick summary

A user came through asking about whether a contact form would automatically add people to their post update list on their WordPress site.

My understanding is it doesn't and it doesn't say it would anywhere I could see.

I then saw there was a Newsletter sign-up block which links with other email newsletter services.

I couldn't find any documentation on the "newsletter sign-up" block in our support docs.

Indeed when you add the block in the block settings it say it is a normal "form block" not a newsletter sign up.

Steps to reproduce

Add a Newsletter sign-up block and form block.

What you expected to happen

1) That I could find documentation on the "newsletter sign-up block"

2) That it would indicate it was a newsletter signup form and not just a "form" to make it clear the difference.

What actually happened

It's not clear which form is which.

Changed this to a feature request - I agree it is not obvious what this refers to.

However, it looks like each of the 'form' options show up individually if you search any of the below;
