A synced pattern used on forty pages where the layout should be shared and the text should not, which had meant an unsynced pattern and forty divergent copies.
<!-- wp:heading {

"name": "Campaign headline",

<h2>Default headline</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
Marking specific blocks as overridable is the missing middle between synced and unsynced, and it is the thing that makes a synced pattern usable for a campaign layout. The constraint is that only some blocks support it — headings, paragraphs, images and buttons — so a pattern whose variable part is a group still has to be unsynced.
