The new, and improved, block based WIdgets Editor is back. There is a new call for testing here: ​https://make.wordpress.org/core/2021/05/12/help-test-the-widgets-editor-for-wordpress-5-8/

The aim of the call for testing is to see if there are any blockers abour the new Widgets editor before 5.8's feature freeze.

The major news are:

  • the Customizer's widgets panel is updated and alows editing blocks and widgets at the same time
  • adding blocks to widget areas in the Customizer works with all the features present: previewing, scheduling, sharing
  • the block based Widgets editor (both the stand alone and the Customizer panel) have very good back compat

Thanks for testing! Looking forward to feedback :)
