Discussed in #267

^{Originally posted by ndiego June 3, 2024}
This article will provide an introduction to overrides in synced patterns, a new feature coming in WordPress 6.6. The article would cover the following:

• Explain what synced pattern overrides are and demonstrate how they work from a user perspective
• Explain how they work under the hood and their connection to the Block Bindings API
• Show how to create overrides with a couple examples
• A brief overview of what is on the roadmap for overrides in 6.7+ and links to relevant resources

The actual article title needs some work.
