# Reusable blocks

The reusable blocks module is deprecated. It remains available as a no-op compatibility package so existing imports, script handles, and `core/reusable-blocks` data-store access do not crash.

`ReusableBlocksMenuItems` renders nothing, and the store's selectors and actions (`__experimentalConvertBlockToStatic`, `__experimentalConvertBlocksToReusable`, `__experimentalDeleteReusableBlock`, `__experimentalSetEditingReusableBlock`, `__experimentalIsEditingReusableBlock`) are inert.

Reusable blocks (patterns) are `wp_block` entities, managed through `@wordpress/core-data`. That covers entity operations only; there is no public replacement for the conversion utilities or menu items.
