“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 22.0?
Gutenberg 22.0 has been released and is [available for download](https://wordpress.org/plugins/gutenberg/)!
> Typically, the Gutenberg release following a WordPress point release focuses on core quality and bug fixes over new enhancements. As such, this will be a relatively quiet release.

#### Real-time Collaboration: Post Meta Synchronization
