Outline Icon Style<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Icons across the theme now support an outline style alongside the existing filled style. All 126 NC State brand icons<\/a> are available in both options, giving you more flexibility in how you design your pages. Outline icons work in any block that accepts icons, including the Fact Row block<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep in mind that within a single block, all icons must use the same style. You can mix filled and outline icons across different blocks on a page, but not within the same block.<\/p>\n\n\n

Newswire Feed: Optional Date Display<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Newswire Feed block now lets you show or hide the publication date on feed items. You can toggle this on or off in the block settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slate<\/span> Embed: Website Origination Field<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Slate<\/span> Embed block now includes a dedicated field for the website_origination<\/code> tracking parameter. If you embed Slate<\/span> forms that require this value, you can now set it directly in the block rather than working around it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Note on Block Usage Data<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Starting with this release, the theme collects data on which blocks are being used across the platform. We’re using this to better understand how site builders are working with the theme \u2014 so we can focus future development and training resources on the blocks that matter most to you. No content or personal data is collected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other Improvements<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Localist Event Filters<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
