Fantasma comes with built-in patterns, ready-made sections you add to a page and then change. They are sorted into categories, in the same order in the Patterns panel and in the pattern picker. Your own patterns sit above them, in categories of their own such as Your patterns.
You add most of them with + between two sections or under Sections in the left sidebar, as Add a section to a page shows. Patterns from Dialogs and Cookie banner are added another way. In the icon rail, click Layouts, click a layout such as Default, then click + next to Overlays in the left sidebar. A section added from a pattern stays linked to it, as How patterns work explains.
