Here at PublishPress, we’re focused on the publishing experience in WordPress. And lately we’ve been learning about new publishing features that may be coming to the new editor in Gutenberg Phase 3. Back in November 2019, we wrote about collaborative Google Docs-style editing in WordPress. This image gives a good idea of what we’re talking…
