PublishPress Blocks v3.7.4: Big Improvements to Block Notes
WordPress 6.9 shipped with a very cool feature: Notes.
You can now leave Google Docs-style comments directly on your posts. It’s a fantastic collaboration tool for editorial teams.
The catch? It’s really hard to find. None of the publishers we work with have discovered it yet. PublishPress Blocks makes Notes much easier to use. PublishPress Blocks now has a “Post Notes” screen.
Instead of opening individual posts to check notes, editors can now review notes across their content from one admin view.
Table of Contents
Feature highlight: Post Notes
The new Post Notes page appears under the Blocks menu and gives editorial teams a central place to manage notes attached to posts.
- One screen for all your notes: See notes from across posts in a single table with the related post, post type, note text, author, date, and status.
- Faster filtering: Narrow the list by post type, status, or post title search so teams can quickly find open or resolved notes.
- Clear author details: Author initials and avatars make it easier to see who created each note.
Block management improvements
This release also tidies several admin screens to make block settings clearer and easier to navigate.
- Legacy blocks: Unused older blocks are now grouped in a Legacy area under Settings: Extra Blocks.
- Cleaner block lists: Deprecated blocks are hidden and the Content Display and Extra Blocks screens have been polished.
- Screen descriptions: Blocks screens now include descriptions to make their purpose easier to understand.
Other changes
- Custom block styles: Color choices now apply correctly in both the editor and the frontend.
- Additional CSS classes: Classes added through a block’s advanced settings now appear correctly on the frontend.
- Block Usage access: Editor roles with the granted capabilities can now access the Block Usage page as expected.
- Translations: Select2 translations and text domains received fixes for better localization support.
- Build tooling: The bundled Babel dependency was updated as part of routine maintenance.
