SiteBuilder release notes

We released SiteBuilder 2.507 on Tuesday 14^th June 2022. In this version we made the following bug fixes and improvements to the Components Editor:

• We made some improvements to single-choice rating sets and multiple-choice rating sets in forms, to ensure they are compliant with accessibility guidelines. We also applied these changes to the form page template in the old visual editor.
• We introduced more settings when adding buttons to your page. You can now select Extra Large from the Buttons size dropdown, and you can also set the Text alignment of each button's label. To add buttons to your page, select Add special features from the left-hand menu and select Buttons from the sub-menu.
• We made improvements to the Copy page contents form to make it easier to use, including adding help text and providing clearer validation messages. See our help page for details of how to copy the contents of a Components Editor page, in order to overwrite another page.
• We fixed a bug so that the text in a hero block is now displayed at the same size in both the Components Editor and on the published page. To add a hero block to your page, select Add layout blocks from the left-hand menu and select Hero block at the bottom of the displayed options.
• We fixed a bug which caused content inside a block to be deleted when toggling between list styling options, such as Unordered list and Ordered list.
• We now trim whitespace characters from the start and end of URLs when defining the source URL in a content feed component. To use a content feed component in your page, select Add content feeds from the left-hand menu. From the sub-menu you can select to add a news feed, calendar feed, content feed from another page, data entry feed or Twitter feed.
• We fixed a bug which caused buttons to be disabled for Firefox users when managing tags at a news page. We also fixed this bug in the old visual editor.
• We continued work which will enable complex pages such as homepage layouts to be converted to the Components Editor.
