More About Full-Site Editors

Full-Site Editing is a feature introduced in WordPress 5.8. It enables users to build and customize page templates with blocks, and replaces the Customizer.

To use the full site editor, you need a block-based theme. This is a theme that adheres to a specific set of development guidelines. When you activate a block-based theme on your site, WordPress will automatically disable the Customizer and Widget sections within the dashboard.

Full-site editing also enables the use of a new theme.json file for themes. You can use this file to configure default styles for a theme, including background colors, content width, fonts, and more.
