Great overview. I don't think the cursor is an issue to be honest.

At the very beginning, you're intro is very simple. You say something like "Let's explore 6.7." To better set the stage, could you add some examples of what the updates are? "In this video, we'll explore 6.7. This update introduced a new theme, changes to X, a brand new Y, and Z, just to name a few. Let's dive in and check those out."

At 3:10, the video mentions how one can't select between Default or Custom when adding a query block to a post or page. Could we add an explanation so that, if someone does want to edit the settings, they know where to go? (I haven't looked into it, so I'm not sure where they'd need to go.)

Otherwise, this looked good to me. Thanks for working on this 🙌

I will add some clarity. The nice thing is that you can automatically edit the settings, so I assume it is custom by default.

Review: Leif Quitevis

You were able to pack in a lot of good info on new/updated features in a short amount of time! Good pace and very informative video.

The way WP is going, we’re only going to need the shipped default theme to create any website. The theme repo will just become the ‘Patterns’ repo.
