New

• The Header section now has a setting to show the menu links next to the logo, keeping the navigation on one link. If you don't have many links in your main menu, you can use this to considerably reduce the height of the header.
• The Header also has a new setting called 'Center menu links on desktop'. This can be used to left align or centralize the navigation links.
• The Collection List section now has a 'Collections' settings which can be used to define the collections shown in the section (in addition to the blocks). This means the section can be used to create sub-collections by creating and assigning a metafield to the new setting.
• The Collection List section also has new settings to control the collection title text size, and a setting to centralize the collection cards when in grid view.

• We've added 20 new 'logo' icons (e.g. Instagram, Apple Appstore etc) to the huge dropdown of icons which shows on various blocks and sections. This makes creating social platform-looking sections (e.g. an Instagram feed) even easier.
