Site Editor & Templates Roadmap

[mtias]

---

The largest amount of work is around clarifying the user experience of editing global concepts (styles, templates, navigation) from specific site content. To address some of these issues a few explorations are underway:

• [x] #36667
• [x] #37001 (Needs discussion.)
• [x] #39293

This is connected with the introduction of a view mode that allows the user to navigate around the site instead of selecting blocks:

• [x] #23328

Finally, we need to introduce a better loading flow for the site editor to avoid waterfall effects and the feeling of fragility.
