 ## Overview
 
-HM Query Loop is a WordPress plugin that extends the core Query Loop block with advanced controls for managing multiple query loops on a single page. It provides three main features: posts per page override for inherited queries, hide on paginated pages, and exclude already displayed posts.
+HM Query Loop is a WordPress plugin that extends the core Query Loop block with advanced controls for managing multiple query loops on a single page. Core features: posts per page override for inherited queries, hide on paginated pages, exclude already displayed posts, multiple post templates per query loop, query ID deduplication, and query presets.

 - Subsequent query loops with `excludeDisplayed` enabled filter out tracked IDs via `post__not_in`
 
 ### Editor Preview Synchronization
-In src/index.js, a `useEffect` hook syncs the `hmQueryLoop.perPage` attribute to `query.perPage` to reflect the override in the editor preview. The `withPostTemplateStyles` filter adds inline CSS to hide excess posts in the editor beyond the `perPage` limit.
+`withPostTemplateStyles` HOC injects an inline `<style>` tag that hides posts outside each post template's slice in the editor preview using `nth-of-type` selectors. It accounts for both query-level `perPage` (inherited queries) and post-template-level `perPage` (multiple post templates), plus an offset for preceding templates.
+
+### Multiple Post Templates
+A non-inherited Query Loop can contain multiple `core/post-template` blocks, each showing a different slice of the results:
+- `withPostTemplateInspectorControls` HOC adds "Posts per template" to each `core/post-template`'s inspector, clamped to remaining available posts.
+- `withQueryLoopContextProvider` HOC wraps `core/query` with a `UsedPostsContext.Provider` so sibling post-template blocks share their `perPage` values.
+- Server-side: `filter_query_loop_block_query_vars` computes `posts_per_page` and offset per template using `$query_loop_post_template_per_pages` (keyed by `queryId`).
+
+### Query ID Deduplication
+WordPress does not deduplicate `queryId` when blocks are copy-pasted, breaking post exclusion and pagination:
+- Server-side: `deduplicate_query_ids` (`pre_render_block`, priority 10) generates unique IDs using a static instance counter + post ID and propagates them to child `core/post-template` via a dynamic `render_block_context` filter.
+- Editor-side: `withUniqueQueryId` HOC computes the expected ID from post ID + block index and syncs it via `setAttributes`.

-## Technical Implementation
-
-The plugin uses a dual-approach to handle both inherited and non-inherited Query Loop blocks:
-
-### For Inherited Queries (uses main query):
-
-- **`pre_render_block`**: Runs before a Query Loop block renders
-  - Captures block attributes and stores them globally
-  - Checks pagination visibility settings (returns empty string if hidden)
-  - Hooks `modify_query_from_block_attrs` to `pre_get_posts`
-
-- **`pre_get_posts` (via `modify_query_from_block_attrs`)**: Dynamically hooked during block rendering
-  - Retrieves block attributes from global storage
-  - Modifies the query (posts per page, exclusions)
-  - Works with inherited queries and main query
-
-- **`render_block`**: Runs after the Query Loop block renders
-  - Unhooks `modify_query_from_block_attrs` from `pre_get_posts`
-  - Clears global block attributes
-
-### For Non-Inherited Queries (custom WP_Query):
-
-- **`query_loop_block_query_vars`**: Passes custom block attributes into WP_Query vars
-  - Adds `hm_query_loop_id`, `hm_query_loop_per_page`, `hm_query_loop_exclude_displayed`
-  - This filter runs for non-inherited queries only
-
-Note: Since `query_loop_block_query_vars` doesn't fire for inherited queries, we use the `pre_render_block`/`render_block` approach to hook/unhook `pre_get_posts` dynamically around the block rendering.
-
-### Post Tracking:
-
-- **`the_posts`**: Runs after posts are fetched
-  - Tracks post IDs from Query Loop blocks (both approaches) and main query
-  - Builds a global list for subsequent query loops to exclude
-
-### Query Presets:
