Page Editor / Site Editor: Different order for Blocks & Patterns inserter #50023

Open hanneslsm opened 1 year ago

hanneslsm commented 1 year ago

Description

In the page editor, when clicking the Plus on the top left all blocks are displayed by default. In the site editor, when clicking the Plus on the top left patterns are displayed by default.

This is very confusing.

Step-by-step reproduction instructions

  1. Try to add a block in the page editor.
  2. Try to add a block in the site editor afterwards and be confused why the patterns are displayed by default instead.

Hi @hanneslsm could be that the assumption is that you are most likely to use patterns on templates than individual blocks.

As a designer, creating my own block themes, I'm actually using blocks in the Site Editor to create patterns and save them in the theme, so that my clients can use in the Page editor then. So, if this logic applies, at least for my use case, it should be actually the other way around. (which as a change I would't welcome very much either)
