Comment (by poena):

 I am testing PR 5201.

 WordPress: 6.5-alpha-56966-src
 Plugins active: None
 Chrome, MacOS
 Theme: Twenty Eleven Version: 4.5
 Logged in as Administrator

 The menu item Appearance > Patterns leads to wp-
 admin/edit.php?post_type=wp_block and here I can add new patterns, trash,
 restore, delete, edit, export and import patterns.


 **Comment:** Not for this PR but for the general usability of the
 feature.**
 - The interface for the json import needs some work. The button sizes are
 not the same and it looks unpolished.
 - I can not find a way to manage pattern categories. I can not see a list
 of all my pattern categories, edit, delete them etc.
 - When I edit a pattern, the Pattern Categories label input field still
 says "Add new tag"
 ''Has this been updated? Does the PR need a rebase?''


 ----
 When I manually navigate to wp-admin/site-editor.php?path=%2Fpatterns:
 I see the left sidebar panel, and it has two back buttons which feels
 awkward: The WordPress icon, and the arrow.

 In the menu I can choose between:
 All patterns, my patterns, my custom pattern category that I just created
 in the previous step, the category "Twenty Eleven" and uncategorized.
 The "Manage all patterns" takes me back to the
 edit.php?post_type=wp_block, this is correct.

 On the right side of the screen, there is a grid of patterns, search field
 and toggle buttons.
 **Comment:** This feels dated, there may be commits that I am expecting to
 be added to 6.5 that will update this screen.

 **Now to the part that felt unexpected:**
 Has this already been addressed or at least reported?

 Each pattern has an an action menu with an option to duplicate the
 pattern.
 This takes me to a screen where the pattern is previewed and there is
 information about the pattern in the dark grey panel to the left.
 I can edit the pattern in two ways: By clicking on the preview, or use the
 edit button, the pen icon.
 Both these options take me to the ''template editor.''

 Once I am in the template editor I can suddenly create new template parts
 by inserting them into the pattern.
 I can also see the option that opens the Styles panel.
 I can open the styles panel and the stylebook.
 I can't add a new color palette because there are JavaScript errors.
 I can't change block styles because there are JavaScript errors.
 I can export the theme.
