3. After that, choose your pattern from the **Select Pattern** dropdown.

Once you select a pattern, you can edit the pattern from the Edit button. 

> *Note: You can also create a new pattern by clicking on the Create Pattern button.*

Then, from the **AJAX Load** dropdown, you can select the content load type. Here you’ll find two options - 

- **Default** - This will keep the content normally.

- **Standard AJAX** - This will load the content when it enters the viewport area.

> *Note: To make the Standard AJAX work, make sure to enable the ****Enable Ajax Templates**** toggle from ****Nexter Blocks**** > ****Extra Options**** > ****Settings****.*

By enabling the **Backend Visibility** toggle, you can see the pattern in the editor, but for a smooth editing experience, you should keep it disabled.

Now you’ll see your WordPress pattern content in that specific timeline item.
