With the classic editor, you enter text.
With Gutenberg, your enter text and data.
Not convinced? Install "LazyBlocks" for instance. You can define forms with fields for the writer, that produces the output you want in the frontend.

Yes, here it goes; Install it.
You don´t need to convince me, I´m already sold. It just taking some time for my transition to it fully.

On a (very) serious note, for anyone: Before changing anything on your WordPress site, do a backup. It takes a few minutes (max) and your site is safe.
Send the beer later.

Yes, as a "normal" user I´m really surprised that so many people does not take a backup before, and then complaining about it when it goes south .. 101 in management.

I found the opportunity (I know, out of the thread's context) to remind any young PayPal user: If you created your PayPal account before you've got 18yrs, change it (somehow it breaks the pp rules). If you have 23, and you're in this situation, your account may be "bye-bye", with all the money inside. ( Sorry, @RoiBox, I just solved someone else situation today, and I found the opportunity right now to specify it here, maybe it helps - not guarantee it can be solved next time).
In the context of the quote, yes: This is a simple, maybe 1 minute task, to do anytime, to avoid big problems. Just take care about your site's backup.
---
Later Edit: It is somehow in context, because people just forget this simple aspect, and it may get the account in trouble. It is similar with the website backup.

Exactly. The configuration of the work done with Blocks, Elementor, and some other builders, like colors, sizes, text data, API keys, pictures filenames, blocks sizes, etc., etc., is stored in the database and can be exported as a JSON file for inserting it into as many websites as you want it repeated.
@chewba As for PHP, that is more programming than configuration. All PHP code you edit, insert, or generate, must be backed up by yourself for using it in the other sites you would like to use it.
The configuration exported in JSON format is more based on a fixed template where only dynamic data is edited or changed. And when I mention "template", I mean the underlying structure of how it works (infrastructure). The template of how it looks (aesthetics) is what you are exporting with the new feature.

Remember to backup your site first before updating!
