Hi, We’ve just dropped another huge beta update! It’s got some great new features and tonne of fixes. Remember, if the bug you reported is not fixed in this build don’t worry, it’s ticketed and we’ll get around to it shortly. Read Me First Before Updating! We have merged the Section component into…

I’m unable to use this build (after updating) as I can’t add any elements or resources to the page. See gif below. [CleanShot 2024-08-20 at 09.18.46] I’m running Elements 22867 on macOS 14.6.1 on a M1 Pro, 32 GB MacBook Pro.

[image] scottsteven: Would be nice to be able duplicate a prebuilt section that could be edited and saved as a new section. I agree 100%. I’ve completely stopped using the pre-built components. I find it frustrating when I drag them on and expect to see all the properties available and I thi…

Can I suggest the default setting for a Card component’s items should be ‘On’? It looks a little odd when you drop a Card onto a layout and see nothing but a single grey drop zone. I think a more logical default would be to have all the available areas open - Header (image), content (heading), foot…

[image] dan: Added page indicator menu (next to editor breadcrumb trail) This is a great addition. Can I request another option with regards selected components. At present, if you click on a component it is displayed as the type of component at the top of the Properties inspector - regardles…
