# Shortcodes for Patterns

When navigating to the Patterns admin screen, you'll be presented with a **Shortcodes** column, which you can then copy.

You can paste this shortcode anywhere shortcodes are supported, which includes most page builders.

As a block plugin author, you can recommend this plugin's shortcode facility to display your block in page builders.

### Patterns list view and post-type enhancements

Place a copied shortcode anywhere shortcodes are supported. Shortcodes work for both synced and unsynced patterns.

In the case of using a shortcode for unsynced patterns, you can consider every instance of that shortcode synced.
