Gutenberg templates also known as full-page patterns offer a quick way to build a website in Wordpress. It saves the time to create a full-page structure.
You can now save your Gutenberg templates as patterns on the site editor, and build a library of Gutenberg patterns and Gutenberg full-page patterns.
What are Gutenberg Templates?
If you are still confused by the terminology, a good analogy for Gutenberg templates is that they are full-page patterns.
With WordPress full-site editing, you can now create an entire website with just full-page patterns. You can build using only a block theme, a block theme plus a block plugin, or with only a block plugin. Each option has its tradeoffs.
Building only on a block theme, means you need to rely on Gutenberg core block features to build. If you need a form block, for example, you may need an additional plugin as Gutenberg core still lacks this feature.
Building with a block plugin means you have all block features the plugin offers, but will rely on the developers for new features and also have a slower loading compared to a block theme-only.
