Overview
Block Governance puts you in control of how pages get built. Admins decide which blocks and styles are available to each role and content type.
Encode design system standards in the editorial experience. This simplifies content creation, reduces publishing errors, and keeps pages consistent with your brand, accessibility, and governance standards.
Frequently asked questions
What is Block Governance used for?
It controls which blocks and styles appear in the WordPress editor, so pages stay consistent across teams.
Can different users see different editing options?
Yes. Set rules by user role, post type, or both.
Why is block governance important?
A design system nobody enforces is a suggestion. Limiting the options keeps pages consistent and takes the decision off the author.
Does this require custom development?
No. Governance is configurable in WordPress VIP. You don’t need to build a custom editing experience.
