The Call To Action Groups
Following on from Dev Update 5, we have created the pre-designed section for the Call To Action Groups.
This means that all you need to do is select and they get added to your page instantly.
As with all the sections, they share the same base HTMl structure but are made to look visually different via the settings being applied - this means that any of these designs can be made from any other design (with the exception of adding/removing the child items).

The Holding Page
- The Holding Page in the Page Editor
All in all, this one is quite a sizeable development, mainly because it comes in two parts.
We have created the editor for the holding Page so that you now have more control over how it looks. It works in a very similar fashion to the 404 and 500 error pages, by working as a standalone page with no header or footer.
There are plenty of settings to play with so that you can get the look you are after... but bearing in mind that you hopefully will not need a holding page up for too long, the settings are not ridiculously extensive.
- The holding page editor - you guys can be way more creative than this :)
We have also converted the old VB Media Admin page to the new V3 Admin so that it is no longer an 'imported' page.
The available settings have been 'slimmed' down as you now control the content within the Page Editor.
- Holding page settings
You may notice, in the screenshot above, that there is a notification in the header bar, relating to the holding page being switched on.
To aid with communicating the status of various facets of you account, we have implemented a site-wide notification system.
This sits in the header bar for things that are vitally important for your account, that we think you need to be aware of. These will also be clickable (where applicable) so that you can go directly to the area that needs attention.
When there are multiple notifications in the header bar, the description minimises so that you only see the headlines. To then see the full details, simply hover over the notification and it will expand.
