Questions

Everything you need to know before you start

Clear answers about building with Etch component families, pattern sections, and the layout library.

What is the Etch pattern library?

A curated set of polished section layouts you can drop into any page. Each pattern is a complete starting point with semantic markup and responsive behavior.

How are component families organized?

Families bundle related elements — triggers, panels, containers — that share behavior, accessibility, and styling hooks. They work as a unit so you never wire pieces together manually.

Can I save a customized section for reuse?

Yes. After customizing a section, save it as a sync pattern or reusable block. Your version stays independent of library updates.

Do patterns work with any theme?

Patterns are built on standard Gutenberg blocks and work with any theme that supports the block editor. Styles adapt to your theme where possible.

How often are new patterns added?

New component families and section layouts ship with each plugin release. Browse the library inside the editor to see the latest additions.
