Bug fixes 🐛

  • Fixed an issue where the byline would load perpetually for pages without a page approval set up where the user doesn’t have edit permissions on the page.

  • Fixed a bug where a previously left comment would be incorrectly attributed to an approval made via bulk change.

  • Fixed a bug where overall section approval status changes would not be recorded in the approval history if bulk change was used.

  • Fixed a bug where guest users were not selectable as approvers. Guests can now once again be selected as approvers for Page Approvals, and availability has been extended to include Section Approvals.
