Storefront URL's - Product & Manufacturer Managers

To ensure a consistent look and feel throughout your entire storefront, we have left-aligned all links within the navigation menus. This change affects the "Browse by Categories", "Browse by Subcategories", "Links", and "Link Groups".

Admin Panel Link Editor Menu Changes

The Left Column Link Editor has been renamed to "Link Editor". This option is now available as a menu option from both the Left and Right Column Displays. This option allows you to create text links to individual sites/pages of your choice.

The Right Column Link Editor has been renamed to "Link Group Editor". This option is now available as a menu option from both the Left and Right Column Displays. This option allows you to create groups of links to individual sites, headed by a banner image or header text.
