What We Are Working on

Web Design System

  • Card Group and News Cards Feed:
    • Limit Caption Length: You can set the character limit for the captions. The default is 100 characters.
    • Add Link/Button: You can now add a “Read More” button. A field is also available to edit the link text. The link text is programmed to be “Read more about [card title].”
  • HTML Snippet Block: The list of available snippets was set to 10. It is now set to 100.
  • Bug Fixes:
    • Cards with padding and a colored background: The padding on the card with a background color now behaves like a card without a background color.
