These screens are still in an experimental state.\u201d<\/p> <\/blockquote> <h3>Gutenberg Content Guidelines<\/h3> <p>WordPress also added the new Content Guidelines feature which according to Automattic\u2019s James LePage, it is \u201ca cornerstone feature to steer AI and how it interacts with your site.\u201d It\u2019s not exclusively an AI feature but it\u2019s quite useful as one.<\/p> <p><em>The official announcement describes it as:<\/em><\/p> <blockquote> <p>\u201cWe added a new experimental REST API and custom post type, to allow WordPress site owners to define and manage site-wide content rules.\u201d<\/p> <\/blockquote> <p><em>It also documents what was added, specific to the content guidelines feature:<\/em><\/p> <blockquote> <ul> <li>\u201cContent Guidelines: Add block guidelines management (76187)<\/li> <li>Content Guidelines: Add UX for site, copy, image, and additional guidelines (75420)<\/li> <li>Guidelines: Add actions for Import, Export and Revisions of guidelines (76155)\u201d<\/li> <\/ul> <\/blockquote> <p><em>The official proposal for this feature, written by LePage (who is a co-lead of the official WordPress AI team), explains:<\/em><\/p> <blockquote> <p>\u201cA single place in WordPress to capture site-wide content standards and context, so publishing tools can manage content that stays on-brand and consistent.<\/p> <p>Most sites already have content standards: voice and tone, structural rules, image guidance, accessibility expectations, linking practices, and more. Today, those guidelines often live outside WordPress in documents, PDFs, wikis, or institutional knowledge. That makes them harder to find while writing and harder for any tool, human or automated, to apply consistently.<\/p> <p>Content Guidelines isn\u2019t an AI-only feature. It doesn\u2019t depend on AI, but AI should depend on it. A unified store of guidelines makes standards discoverable, portable, and reusable, whether the person applying them is a writer, an editor, a plugin, or an AI assistant.\u201d<\/p> <\/blockquote> <p><em>According to the proposal, the Content Guidelines enable:<\/em><\/p> <blockquote> <ol> <li>A single source of truth for content standards.<\/li> <li>Consistency across authors and tools.<\/li> <li>More steerable AI behavior.<\/li> <li>Guardrails for agents.<\/li> <\/ol> <\/blockquote> <p>A shared, portable foundation across the ecosystem. With import and export, guidelines can move with a site, be reused across environments, or serve as a starting point for new sites.\u201d<\/p> <p>Other notable feature is that Real Time Collaboration is now switched to be enabled by default in order to match the behavior of WordPress 7.0 but it won\u2019t override a user\u2019s intentional choice. In addition to these updates, Gutenberg 22.7 also ships with numerous fixes and enhancements.<\/p> <h3>Read about the update here:<\/h3> <p>What\u2019s new in Gutenberg 22.7?<\/p> <\/div> <p>News,WordPress#WordPress #Gutenberg #Lays #Groundwork #Publishing #sejournal #martinibuster1773272865<\/p> ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>tag inside the block).
