Upgrade Notes
Image Feature
Due to necessary accessibility updates, some users may be prompted with an “Attempt Recovery” button when editing preexisting Image Feature blocks. This is expected. Clicking the button will reformat the block content into the new, accessible markup.

Clearing Your Browser Cache
Because of the structural changes to the block controls, clearing your browser’s cache is recommended if you notice other unexpected behavior with the Button block and Image Feature block controls.
Call to Action Colors
Due to a conflict with the V2 and V3 versions of the toolkit scripts, the Call to Action block color theme selections “Blue Gradient” and “Orange Gradient” render with a white background instead of a transparent background as intended. This will be corrected in a future revision to the Call to Action block.
