Fall has officially arrived, and with it comes our latest Core release.
We've made it a little easier to add a custom graphic as a page banner. While we typically don't recommend adding text to images, we understand that sometimes a fully custom graphic with text or a chart says more than a banner with text and an overlay. So, we've introduced a new Graphic option for the page banners that will ensure your banner graphic maintains it's original proportions and never crops. Just make sure you add alt text! We still recommend you upload banners at 1600x450, but this feature allows you to use any square or landscape proportions.
Next up, we've introduced custom IDs for accordion panels. When creating or editing accordion sections for deep-linking, Cascade editors can now manually assign IDs with a name of their choosing ensuring that ID will never change unless they choose to change it.
Improvements
- Added uncropped graphic feature for page banners
- Added ID field for accordion panels when using the deep-linking feature
- Removed Barlow and Komet SC from the template to comply with brand standards
- Added pre-loading banner images to reduce load delay for the largest contentful paint. Hat tip to Susana Becerra Pino at the College of Business for suggesting!
