Is there a way to set up WordPress to allow authors to select a post template in the block editor?

[ad_1]

I’m not sure if I dreamt this or not, but I think I remember seeing a video from WordPress developers showing a system in the block editor whereby upon clicking “New Post” the user was presented with a set of predefined templates which, when clicked, prepopulate the editor with a bunch of blocks with predefined content: headers, paragraphs, images, etc.

I want to use this feature now but I can’t work out how to do it. I know I can define a single template to be used every time a certain post type is created programmatically (I’ve done this already for a project) but I haven’t come across a way to select from different templates.

I’m happy to define templates via plugin code if I have to, but if it’s possible via the admin dashboard, all the better.

So, did I dream this or does it actually exist!? I used to keep up with the WordPress developer blog but stopped reading about a year ago so my memory is vague…
