Hey Weavers, Thanks for all the feedback so far, it’s been really helpful ☺ We have another great beta update for you today, it’s got a couple of new features and tonne of fixes in it. If the bug you reported is not fixed in this build don’t worry, it’s ticketed and we’ll be getting round to them soon! ## What’s New in Beta 5 - Allow editing of site template - Allow editing of page code areas - Added new Text and Image Component - Added HTML Sanitizer - Theme chooser moved to toolbar (next to the Theme Studio) - Prevented crash when typing a visible / enabled expression in Custom Components - Better handling of IF statements in the Elements language - PHP no longer gets commented out on export - Fixed testing for edit/preview/publish mode in templates - Fixed image paths on menu sub items - Home page filename doesn’t revert to index.html after project load - Button: Fixed background opacity slider values - Paragraph: Fixed margin - Video: Fixed typo - Updated Documentation ## How to Update to the latest Beta! Elements should prompt you while it’s running to let you know there’s an update, if it doesn’t you can select the “Check for Updates…” menu option from the “Elements” app menu. You can also download the latest build of Elements from the confirmation email you received as that link will ALWAYS give you the latest version. ## Get the Beta If you’ve already signed-up it might be a while before you get an email as we’re working our way through all the initial feedback. Hang tight for a little longer, you will get early access in the coming weeks. If you’re not on the list, you should [sign-up up here to be notified when the beta is publicly available](https://www.realmacsoftware.com/rapidweaver/elements/). If you’re really desperate to get in on the beta, [post here on the forum](https://forums.realmacsoftware.com/t/request-elements-beta-access-here/43887/121) and we’ll try to get you added sooner! Thanks again for all the support! Cheers, Dan & Team Realmac ---

Hi @dan - Just a quick heads up that the auto update & the ‘check for updates’ still don’t show an update. FYI - I did have ‘Check for beta updates’ enabled in Settings \> Updates Using confirmation email works as always. Thanks. ---

Yup, thanks Bill! We’re still digging into the issue, but have not got around to deploying a fix, just yet… ---

Hello, I registered on all possible channels, how come I haven’t received RW elements beta yet while others apparently already have? Cordialement Jean-Marc ---
