Newest Updates to the User Guide

Did an update in the Web Team Newsletter lead you to this Wiki? Or maybe you visit often and just want the latest scoop. However you got here, this is one place where you can find the latest and greatest additions and information. Another is the  home page of this Guide  under "Subdocs Recent Activity."
Social Media Icons Update (December 11, 2024)New functionality has been added to allow web editors to maintain the social media network links in their footer.  Learn more about how you can update your social media accounts and customize the layout⁠ . 
New Look to the Editing Interface: Paragraph Previews (Oct 16, 2024)Whether creating a new page or editing an existing one, you are accustomed to seeing a tiny thumbnail of an image alongside the name of the component type (e.g. Testimonial or Spotlight) and a single-line teaser of its content. The updated editing interface displays a visual preview of each component that matches what site visitors see.

For example, a Color Band component is displayed with the entire color band visible with the various styling options that have been selected.Screenshot of the updated editing interface view.

For example, a Color Band component is displayed with the entire color band visible with the various styling options that have been selected.
As you can see, the entire component, e.g. Color Band, is visible without clicking the “edit” button. This will be true for all of the components on your page, even those without images, such as Text Areas. The “Edit” button remains in its same location, and the reordering dots on the left (see screenshot above in the Testimonial region) also retain their function and location in the editing interface. 
Updates to Reorganizing Components within a Page (Oct 16, 2024)There are two ways to move components within a page: "grabbing" the 6-dot button at the left of a component and using the "Drag & Drop" option. We have made small updates to both:
.1The button within a component now includes up and down carets. To move a component up or down one space, simply click the up or down caret one time, respectively. 
.2Drag & Drop functions exactly the same as before. We moved the button to be easier to find.

Additional Background Color Options for Collections (Oct 2, 2024)When setting up a Collection, you have the option to add a background color. Previously, doing so would add a gray background to a collection. In the latest update, you now have a choice of colors: default, gray, and vibrant. These colors will vary based on your website's theme and color palette. View them in action on  traditional  theme or  colorful .
