The Calendly block will be a useful tool for all coaches, consultants, therapists… Add the block to a post or page and anyone can then book appointments, meetings, and classes right from your website.
7+
We've made some changes to those blocks to improve the display of each each when using the button style, but also to improve the way data is saved when creating or updating the block. If you've already used the blocks on your site before this Beta, make sure those existing blocks are not broken, and ensure you can use the different options in the blocks' sidebars.

When using the button style for those blocks (as well as other blocks such as Subscriptions, Recurring Payments, or Mailchimp), you'll want to ensure you can use the colors offered by your theme for the button.

This new block allows you to add a Revue Newsletter signup block to your posts and pages. To get started, [create an account with Revue](https://www.getrevue.co/) if you don't already have one. You'll then be able to create a form in Jetpack.

This release brings in significant changes to "Sync", the synchronization process that keeps your site's data up to date with WordPress.com. The changes modify the initial Full Sync process and not the ongoing sync logic that powers features like Notifications, Publicize and Related Posts. Full Sync can be tested by requesting a Full Sync on WordPress.com: under Manage > Settings > General > Site Tools > Manage your connection.

Give those features a try and let us know how it worked for you.
