Is there a way to save a button as a template in Gutenberg?

    It’s really time-consuming to configure and style a”Buy Now” button every time I need one. Is there a way to save a button as a template (i.e., a reusable button) so that I can just add a different destination link every time?

    Hi @barryrichardson !

    Sure thing!

    You can start at Appearance → Editor → ‘Patterns’. From there, click on ‘Add a new pattern’. You can select to make it synced (Sync this pattern across multiple locations), or unsynced. You would want to choose to create it as an unsynced pattern so that you can add a new destination link everytime you insert it.

    You would then proceed to create and style your button, using a Button Block.

    One you save it, you are able to insert it as a pattern, anytime you attempt to add a new Block.

    There is more details about how synced patterns work, at the link below:

    Synced Patterns (Reusable blocks)

    Hope this helps !

    Hello janmtm – Thank you for responding. However, I tried your recommendation but couldn’t find the first part of your instructions: “Editor > All template parts” to add a new pattern. However, I eventually found a plugin: “BlockMeister Pattern Builder” that made it very easy. Many thanks and best regards!
