Synced Patterns for Themes
This plugin empowers Themes to ship with Synced Patterns.
Synced Patterns are a powerful way to build design elements that can be used across a site, customized with specific content, and updated everywhere by updating the pattern.
Synced Patterns are already a powerful tool available in WordPress, however without an enhancement like this Themes are limited to ‘Unsynced’ themes.
Synced Patterns for Themes is an excellent solution for Themes built with the Pattern Builder tool which empowers you to create those patterns right inside the WordPress Editor.

Getting Started with Synced Patterns for Themes
Installation
WordPress.org: Download the plugin from WordPress.org either from the website or directly in WordPress by going to Plugins > Add New and searching for ‘Taxonomy Query Filter’.
Github: You can also download the plugin directly from the Github repository and upload it to your WordPress instance (or any of the other methods you can use to install a plugin straight from Github).
Using Synced Patterns
In the metadata portion of a Theme’s pattern file add Synced: yes
That’s literally it. No more setup is needed. You can still reference these synced patterns with the pattern block (for example in your templates, template-parts and other patterns) but when they appear in the editor they will be ‘Synced’.
Full support for all the features of Synced Patterns are available (including data binding, overrides, etc). That can all be done by hand in your IDE but the easiest way to do that is with the Pattern Builder.
