WordPress.com News<\/a>
A handful of small but potent changes to the Site Editor have improved the WordPress.com experience for both you and your visitors.
Jeremy Anderberg
The WordPress project team is continuously improving the Site Editor\u2014your one-stop shop for editing and designing your site.
The latest batch of updates\u2014Gutenberg 17.4<\/a> and 17.5<\/a>\u2014include a handful of small but powerful changes designed to improve both your<\/em> WordPress experience and that of your site\u2019s visitors. 
Let\u2019s take a look at what\u2019s new. 
When you\u2019re in the zone making changes to the look and feel of your site, you sometimes hit a dead end or realize that the version you had three or four font and color tweaks ago was a bit better. The updated style revisions pane gives you a robust, detailed log of the design changes you\u2019ve made and makes turning back the clock easier with a one-click restore option to take you back to that perfect design.
Newly added pagination and more granular details make this feature even more powerful.\u00a0
You can access style revisions from the Site Editor by clicking the \u201cStyles\u201d icon on the top right of the page, and then clicking the \u201cRevisions\u201d clock icon. 
It\u2019s now much easier to manage your site and post-editing preferences, which have been combined and enhanced in the latest update. In addition to familiar settings, you\u2019ll find new appearance and accessibility options, and an \u201callow right click\u201d toggle which allows you to override stubborn browser defaults. You can access your preferences by heading to the three-dot menu at the top right of the editor and clicking \u201cPreferences\u201d at the bottom.\u00a0
The Gallery Block\u2019s always been a great way to show off a collection of photos or images. And now there\u2019s a fun new setting to randomize the order in which those images appear every time the page or post is loaded by a new visitor. 
You can turn this setting on with a toggle found at the bottom of the block settings pane: 
Not everybody knows about the Site Editor\u2019s List View, but it can make editing your site, posts, and pages significantly faster and easier.\u00a0A new addition to the List View makes editing even more convenient: just right-click any item in the list to open up the settings menu for the selected block.\u00a0
Even small changes can make a big difference to your<\/em> workflow, and your site visitor\u2019s overall experience. 
We\u2019d love to hear what you think about the new features when you\u2019ve had a chance to take them for a test drive!
