That’s a fantastic new feature, but some users might be wondering just what are dynamic blocks.  Let me try to explain.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Simply put, a Dynamic Block is a block with multiple options that can be tweaked.  For example, in the image below, you can see that the crane has a couple of points that can be tweaked.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"650\" height=\"409\"

\u002F>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By simply clicking on these points users can now move the crane arm to desired position without having to recreate the block itself.  Previously, a user might have exploded the block, edited it to suit and then recreate the new block.  That all takes time.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\u003Cimg
