4 Content Templates are now available to easily format image/text content. Templates include: Left Align, Left Column, Right Align and Right Column. It's as easy as 1-2-3!

File Manager Performance Message
To enhance your File Manager experience, we've added an alert message to your File Manager that appears if a folder has over 500 images. For an optimal file manager performance, we recommend moving some unused files into a separate folder.
Unused files are files that are not being used on your website.
