The Navigation Sidebar has been reorganized around a split pane that shows your pages and the Elements Panel at the same time, and you can now sort elements directly in the Elements Panel.
For details, see The basics.
Select an element in the Canvas or Elements Panel in the left sidebar and press an arrow key to move it within its parent, without dragging it.
Some resource changes affect more than one page. Resource References show all of the places a resource is used, so you can add, edit, and delete resources with confidence.
References are tracked through pages and regions, not through global components or text styles. A color that is used inside a global component that is used on 3 pages will report as being used on 3 pages. If that global component is not used on any pages or regions, the color will show no resource references.
For details, see Resource References.
The Copy diagnostics item in the Visual Builder Help menu has been replaced with Diagnostics, which opens a dialog where you can review diagnostic information before sharing it.
For details, see Diagnostics.

Apps are out of Early Access and available to everyone. You no longer need to enable an early access setting before creating an app to authenticate with the Makeswift REST API.
