Configuration to control which users can see the Control Menu

​​​​Traditionally, it has been complex and tedious to configure the necessary permissions that would make the Control Menu not visible for logged-in users. As soon as one permission was not configured properly, the Control Menu would be visible for these users.

This was previously managed by a specific logic inside the Theme, but now, we have made it easier to control and configure with a new setting.

Now, customers can easily control visibility of the Control Menu per role, within Site Settings >> Site Configuration >> Menu Access.

Refactored UX of Page Configuration

We have refactored the Page Configuration and Page Design Options to make them homogeneous and consistent.

Now, you can access Page Design Options as a section of the Page Configuration (before, they were two separate views).

In addition to that, we have made the UX homogeneous and more consistent with new Clay component styles. We have also regrouped items according to what users intend to do, making it more logical and user friendly to configure.
