Description
Since 6.8 the admin bar 'Edit Site' link takes users to a preview of the homepage in the Site Editor regardless of current page context. Prior to 6.8 it opened the Site Editor in the correct template editing context according the current page - eg when viewing a 'page', the 'single page' template was opened for editing. This mirrored the behaviour of the 'Edit Page/Post' link.
I'm assuming this wasn't an intentional change as it makes little apparent sense trigger the editing of a completely different context, and adds considerable friction to the site building experience. There is now no way of editing the current template with one click.

Hi @nickwilmot, welcome to WordPress Trac.
This was an intentional change, see https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/69271 and https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/62368
There is ongoing discussion of improvements (potentially for WordPress 6.9) to this feature if you would like to get involved.
I'm closing this as reported-upstream since the tickets and discussion is taking place in the Gutenberg Repo.
