Post Terms

The current post's terms from any taxonomy — categories, tags, or your own.

The block renders through the post_terms element — the same PHP that runs in the page builder, so the front end is identical either way.

What the sidebar exposes

OptionWhat it does
taxonomyWhich taxonomy to read
term_prefixText before the list
term_separatorWhat goes between terms
link_termsLink each term to its archive
text_alignAlignment
text_colorText colour
font_size_presetText size preset

Anything not listed stays available in the page builder, and round-trips untouched — the block only writes the values you change, so an element styled in the builder keeps every setting this sidebar does not show.

This block is dynamic

It renders whatever post it finds itself in, at render time. In the editor that is the post you are editing — so the canvas shows this post's value, which on a new draft is often empty, correctly.

In a Theme Builder template it stands for every post the template serves.

Any registered taxonomy, not just categories and tags

That is the reason to reach for this over core's Post Terms block on a custom post type — a Recipe's Cuisine, a Product's Brand.

Margin and padding come from Gutenberg

The block declares core spacing support, so the element's own spacing option is not exposed here — use the Dimensions panel at the top of the sidebar.
