I have a similar but slightly different question about how Elements will handle displaying PDF files. I currently have to use PDF Embed stack to view them in Classic. Will Elements have a built in way to open an PDF from a link and then display it, such as in a modal or on a page?

Good catch! That’s a bug, we’ll get it fixed in the next few betas.

Not currently, Elements will just link directly to it and open it in the browser. I’m sure they’ll be a third-party solution to this once Elements launches.
