WordPress wiki
Main elements
The first place you land is the Dashboard, where you can see Analytics information (more in Site Kit).
From here you’ll probably want to go to the list of Pages, so hover over the page you want to open and click ‘Edit’.
The Page editing screen contains the elements you see on the page and they’re organised in blocks. These block types range from text and headings, through images and videos, buttons, rows and widgets that add extra functionality, like recent posts or a contact form.
Click on the blue Plus (+) sign for a complete list.
Selecting on a block displays the options for that particular type of block and are contextually sensitive, so change depending on what you’ve selected.
The options appear as a bar above the block and also in the right hand sidebar (toggle the cog icon top right for visibility) as either Page or Bock options. Most of these will be intuitive or already configured.
When you’re finished editing you have the option of either previewing what you’ve done, or saving your changes (Update).

Most of the time you won’t need the Page options, but it does hold the Featured image in case you want to set that.
Beneath the page content is the Yoast SEO block where you can tweak SEO settings and set the Social Networks information.
