-### Blocks
-
-#### Calendly / OpenTable / Eventbrite
-
-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.
-
-#### Google Calendar
+### Search
 
-We've created a new Google Calendar block that will allow you to quickly embed calendars within your posts and pages. Give the block and its options a try, and let us know if you run into any issues.
+The highlight of this release is the new Instant Search experience, now available to all sites using the brand new Jetpack Search product. Give it a try, either by purchasing a product via the WordPress.com dashboard, or follow the flow to upgrade your site starting right from your dashboard, in Jetpack > Plans or Jetpack > Settings > Performance.
 
-#### Map
+Give it a try and let us know what you think about the purchase and configuration flow, as well as the look of the Instant Search on your site.
 
-We've made a lot of changes to the Map block in this release.
-
-We would encourage you to test all features offered by the block, including the new Zoom, height, and Fullscreen options appearing in the block sidebar. Give those features a try in the editor, and check how the map looks like on your site's frontend as well.
-
-#### Revue
-
-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.
-
-Let us know if you experience any issues with that form.
+### Blocks
 
-#### Tiled Gallery
+#### WordPress 5.4 Compatibility
 
-The Tiled Gallery block now comes with some new options:
+We've adapted all blocks so they can be displayed nicely in the updated editor. Give them all a try, and let us know if you find layout issues!
 
-- You can choose rounded corners for your galleries.
-- You can reorder images within a gallery thanks to previous / next arrows appearing on each image.
+#### Recurring Payments
 
-Give those features a try and let us know how it worked for you.
+We've made some changes to this block (that requires a Premium Plan), so the buttons can be displayed properly and work well when using the AMP Plugin. On a site using that plugin, try adding a Recurring Payments button and view that button on an AMP view. You should be able to click the button and be redirected to the Payment page.
