Description
Block themes and template editing give authors much more freedom to express how the titles of posts and pages are displayed on the frontend. They might appear inside Cover blocks, adjacent to Post Content, or in any other conceivable block configuration. There are also situations in which a template might not display a post title at all, e.g. Post Formats.
All that to say, it might be time to consider not displaying the post title within the canvas when editing a post or page, because the current implementation is increasingly unlikely to be an accurate representation of the frontend. Example:
| Backend | Frontend |
|---|---|
![]() |
![]() |
Clearly it must still be possible to edit the post title without engaging the template editor first. For a solution we can look to the Site Editor, where the document name appears in the Top Bar, and custom templates can be renamed:
We can probably migrate this pattern across to the post editor as well. The result would be something like this:
When the document has no title, the label can probably read something like "Untitled Document".
Original issue
I think it makes sense to move the page/post title into the top bar like we do for template names. Often we will want to add the Post title inside another block (e.g. Cover block), or in a column.This would give users more flexibility about where the Post/Page title appears:
