Now your blocks can be added to widget areas, via Customizer or by visiting **Appearance > Widgets** from the side menu.Simply click the ‘+’ button to select from all available blocks to add to your widget area.This feature brings all the flexibility of the block editor right into your sidebar widgets. You’ll be able to make design changes such as editing colors, typography, spacing, and more without having to install additional plugins.## Native support for WebP imagesWebP is a modern image format that provides superior compression for images on the web. WebP images are 26% smaller compared to PNGs, and 25-34% smaller than comparable JPEG images, without losing quality.Until now, WordPress had no support for WebP images. With WordPress 5.8, you can (finally!) upload WebP images to your website without resorting to third-party plugins.## Block editor improvementsThe block editor screen is likely where most of your time is spent when creating content in WordPress, so it’s great to see a number of changes coming with this update! Let’s take a look at some of the editor improvements in WordPress 5.8.### Duotone image effectsYou can choose between one of the default color presets or create your own!### Block pattern suggestionsWhen you search for a block using the add block panel, the editor will suggest patterns that you can add directly to your page. In WordPress 5.8, a number of new patterns have been added to help you create the perfect layout.The same call, in code.
