What’s new in Gutenberg 22.6? (25 February)  *“What’s new in Gutenberg…” posts (labeled with the [#gutenberg-new tag](https://make.wordpress.org/core/tag/gutenberg-new/)) are posted following every Gutenberg release on a biweekly basis, showcasing new features included in each release. As a reminder, [here’s an overview](https://make.wordpress.org/core/2020/05/20/ways-to-keep-up-with-full-site-editing-fse/) of different ways to keep up with Gutenberg and the Editor.*  What’s New In Gutenberg 22.6? Gutenberg 22.6 has been released and is [available for download](https://wordpress.org/plugins/gutenberg/)! This release brings visual change tracking to in-editor revisions and introduces a brand-new Icon block. The navigation overlay and client-side media processing both graduate from experimental status. Real-time collaboration adds cursor awareness and can now be enabled through a global settings toggle, and the Gallery block now supports lightbox navigation between images. A total of [388 PRs](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pulls?q=is%3Apr+milestone%3A%22Gutenberg+22.6%22+is%3Aclosed) were merged in Gutenberg 22.6, with 8 first-time contributors! #### In-Editor Revisions: Visual Change Tracking Browsing post revisions in the editor now shows a color-coded visual diff between the selected revision and its predecessor. Added text appears in green with an underline, removed text in red with a strikethrough, and formatting or attribute changes are highlighted with a yellow outline. Entire blocks, added or removed, are outlined in green or red, respectively. Visual change tracking can be toggled off to view clean content. Colors blend with currentColor so they look appropriate across all themes. ([75049](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/75049)) [](https://make.wordpress.org/core/files/2026/02/image.png) #### Icon Block A brand-new Icon block lets you insert SVG icons from a curated library directly into your content. The block is powered by a new server-side SVG Icon Registration API, so updates to the icon registry propagate to all uses without block validation errors. A REST endpoint at /wp/v2/icons supports searching and filtering. The initial set draws from the wordpress/icons package, and the architecture is designed for future extensibility including third-party icon registration. ([71227](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/71227), [72215](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/72215), [75576](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/75576)) [](https://make.wordpress.org/core/files/2026/02/image-scaled-1.png) #### Navigation Overlay Navigation blocks now have customizable overlays and give user full control over mobile hamburger menus. A prominent “Create overlay” button guides you through the setup, providing a selection of patterns to achieve a variety of designs for your overlay. The Navigation Overlay feature is no longer experimental, and is available to all users of the plugin. ([74968](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/74968), [74971](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/74971), [75564](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/75564), [75276](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/75276)) [](https://make.wordpress.org/core/files/2026/02/image-scaled-2.png) #### Client-Side Media Processing Client-side media processing is a feature that leverages the browser’s capabilities to process images. This enables the use of more advanced image formats (including AVIF, WebP, and MozJPEG output encoding) and compression techniques (resulting in ~10–15% smaller file sizes with no quality loss for generated JPEG sub-sizes). It also reduces demand on the web server, thus providing smoother media workflows. As of Gutenberg 22.6, client-side media processing has graduated from experimental state to stable feature. ([75081](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/75081), [74910](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/74910)) #### Real-Time Collaboration Real-time collaboration sees a major round of development in this release. A new toggle under **Settings > Writing** lets you enable the feature, and once active, collaborators editing the same post see each other’s cursor positions and block selections in real time. A presence indicator in the editor header shows who’s currently editing. Under the hood, title, content, and excerpt now sync via Y.text for more granular conflict resolution, and numerous reliability fixes address disconnection handling, revision restores, and performance metrics. ([75286](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/75286), [75398](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/75398), [75065](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/75065), [75448](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/75448), [75595](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/75595)) [](https://make.wordpress.org/core/files/2026/02/image-1.png) #### Gallery Lightbox Navigation The Gallery block’s “Enlarge on click” lightbox now supports navigation between images. When you click an image in a gallery, back and next buttons let you browse through the rest of the gallery without closing the lightbox. Keyboard navigation with arrow keys and screen reader announcements (“Enlarged image X of Y”) are fully supported. Images that don’t have lightbox enabled (e.g., those linked to a file URL) are skipped during navigation. ([62906](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/62906)) [](https://make.wordpress.org/core/files/2026/02/image-scaled-3.png) * **Block visibility enhancements**: List View now shows viewport-aware icons with tooltips indicating which viewports a block is hidden on, and hidden blocks get a simplified toolbar. The keyboard shortcut (Cmd+Shift+H / Ctrl+Shift+H) to toggle block visibility options is featured in the block context menu. ([75404](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/75404), [75335](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/75335), [75334](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/75334)) * **Notes keyboard shortcut**: You can now create a block note with Cmd+Option+M (Mac) or Ctrl+Alt+M (Windows/Linux), and press Escape to cancel. ([75287](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/75287), [75288](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/75288)) * **Verse block renamed to Poetry**: The Verse block is now called Poetry. ([74121](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/74121)) * **QuickEdit stabilized**: QuickEdit is now stable and opens as a modal in the Site Editor pages view. ([75565](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/75565), [75173](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/75173)) * **Text-align block support migrations**: Eight blocks (Author Biography, Post Author Name, Post Comments Count, Post Comments Form, Post Comments Link, Post Terms, Post Time to Read, and Term Description) have been migrated to the standardized text-align block support. *Many of these new features will also be included in the upcoming WordPress version 7.0, so you can find more details and testing instructions over at the [7.0 Call for Testing](https://make.wordpress.org/test/2026/02/20/help-test-wordpress-7-0/).* #### Changelog * wordpress/ui: Add Dialog component.
