Excerpts are a summary of your post content and are used to shorten your posts so that only the introduction or a summary of your post is displayed rather than the full post.

For an in-depth look at post excerpts in WordPress, see our documentation https://docs.campuspress.com/en/artic...

Instructions
You add a custom excerpt to a post using the block editor as follows:

1. Click on Post to access the Document Settings in the sidebar of the post editor.

If you don’t see the Document settings, click on the cog next to Publish.

2. Type your short excerpt.

3. Click Update or Publish to save your changes.
