- Improved image selector for editable class and data inputs.
- Overhauled Custom domain setup pages.
- Added separate page for preview URL details (future configurations to come here).

Fixes:
- Fixed issue loading the data-editor JSON files with top-level arrays.

Future Changes:
In an upcoming release, we will be adding support for Node.js 16.x
and making Node.js 16.x

you can add a .nvmrc
file to the site and run nvm use
(or simply run nvm use 14
) in the build hooks.
