What is this?

The release highlight grid is meant to graphically showcase some of the release's top-of-mind features and enhancements. It's a nice and concise snapshot of the main features coming to a release. As a marketing-related asset, it's also been used to actively promote the release.

This is a tracking issue to manage the work needed on the 6.9 highlight grid. Previous issues for references:

• 6.7 release highlight grid (visual asset) #65775
• Epic: 6.5 release highlight grid (visual asset) #58028

Ideally, this asset has a solid draft between beta 1 and beta 2, and is ready around beta 2 or 3.

Content

The grid should be focused and clear, and show around 10-12 features listed in the 6.9 roadmap post. The tentative list of features displayed are:

• Simplified site editing
• Expanded template management
• Ability to hide blocks
• New blocks
• Block level commenting
• Command Palette everywhere
• Updates to DataViews Package
• Introducing the Abilities API
• Updates to Interactivity API
• Updates to Block Bindings
• Updates to HTML API
• Performance improvements

Extra notes

• This work will need copy input.
• The list isn't final and instead open to conversation.
