SiteBuilder release notes

We released SiteBuilder 2.492 on Wednesday 26^th January 2022. This release marks the end of the Components Editor beta phase.

It is now possible for you to convert most existing pages to the Components Editor. To do this, select Edit > More, then select Convert to Components Editor. You'll be able to preview what your page will look like for users once it's been converted, and can make any adjustments to your page before converting it. This process is permanent and cannot be undone, but you will see an option to Cancel if you wish to make any further changes or wait until later to convert your page. Once your page is converted, you can go to the page history to view and compare previous versions published using the old visual editor or raw editor, but cannot restore these. Subsequent versions of the page, published using the Components Editor, can be restored.

In this version we also made bug fixes and improvements, including:

• Users with contributor permissions can now preview Components Editor pages, as expected.
• We fixed a bug which meant it was possible to add a carousel component inside another carousel.
• We fixed a bug where some options were not displayed in the toolbar, for users browsing in Firefox.
• We added a further option to the box styles available in your site. This box has no background or border, but has padding. This is useful if you wish to enter text on an unstyled background, but would like to maintain alignment with other blocks in the same row. You can view the box styles available to you by selecting Add text & formatting from the left-hand menu, then selecting Block style.
• We fixed a bug which meant that it wasn't possible to exit the toolbar when navigating using only a keyboard.
• We fixed a bug so that text inside Box style 5 now has appropriate contrast to make it accessible. It was previously inaccessible in the component preview screen.
• We fixed a bug causing the Undo and Redo buttons to behave inconsistently in the Components Editor, including in Safari.
