Patterns<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A pattern is a pre-designed building block that you can use on your site\u2019s templates, pages, and posts. Patterns are designed to sync across your site, so they are generally used for site items that often need changes. If you make a change to the pattern, all site locations that use that pattern will update to match. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are similar to a template part and may also be used as a building block in a template part. Likewise, template parts may also be used as a building block for a pattern. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

WP Site Builder comes equipped with a variety of different patterns, but you can also build your own.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
