Hello ABLE users! 🎉

We’re closing out July with one of our most feature-packed updates yet. This release brings powerful search enhancements, major upgrades to the Editor and Blocks system, and a smoother drag-and-drop experience. We’ve also introduced important quality-of-life improvements and crushed a mountain of bugs to make your workflow faster and more seamless.

Let’s dive in. 👇

🔍 Smarter Search

✏️ Blocks & Editor Upgrades

• Context tree to view section drag & drop: Fixed cases where moves triggered toasts but didn’t complete.

🌐 Browser & Media Improvements
