Manager UI
-
Improved Settings section. We've visually overhauled the Settings section which now uses API endpoints behind the scenes. This design overhaul uses the Zesty.io design system which streamlines design elements and usability across the platform.
Expect a different interface: the buttons are now toggles, a new color picker with more flexibility and choices, and a new interface for selecting fonts. Two new subsections have been added: Fonts and Account Settings. Learn how to access your Settings: https://zesty.org/services/web-engine/interface/settings.

Name Update to a Settings category. The LESS Variables category is now called Styles. This name update reflects the function of these variables as LESS and Sass/SCSS variables./,
