Keyboard navigation is now available in the following areas:
- Page Builder rows, and columns.
- Page Builder Layouts view.
- Page Builder History view.
- Page Builder Live Editor.
- Page Builder row and widget form navigation.
- Widgets Bundle form field navigation.

Thanks for reading.
How do I know if I am making use of accessibility features?
Hi London,
These accessibility changes allow for keyboard navigation of the Page Builder interface. This is done by pressing the Tab button on your keyboard and to open rows, widgets, or to trigger actions (such as duplicating a widget) you press the Enter key.
Kind regards,
Alex

Hi all – I have a sidebar with name hyperlinks that I am trying to remove one name. I knew where it was and how to do it with the old program under widgets but now I can’t figure it out. Help!! Thanks!
Hi John, if you haven’t yet inserted any blocks at Appearance > Widgets then you could restore the regular interface using https://wordpress.org/plugins/classic-widgets/. That’ll potentially be the easiest solution.
