Added

• Important: Product images on the Product Page, Featured Product Section, and Quick Buy Modal will now be adjusted by default to fit within the screen's height. You can still turn this off if you’d like your images to be bigger.
• We built a new mechanism to add sections & apps to your site's header & footer area directly from the online store editor.
• We added a "Multi-row" section that lets you create a repeatable pattern of images and text. It also connects to metaobjects in the admin for a supercharged workflow.

Changed

• Important: We changed the default height of the Image Banner from “Adapt to image size” to “medium” to better display larger images on screens.
