1. Improvements to email flow

It’s easy now to remove dynamic content from certain root pages to dedicate them as ‘general
purpose’ pages whose content is still edited in “Initial Setup / Root Pages” section.

To do this plain attribute can be set to true in Web.sitemap file, as in the following example:

 <siteMapNode url="~/root/l" [..] plain="true" /> 
<siteMapNode url="~/root/p" [..] plain="true" />
<siteMapNode url="~/root/tr" [..] plain="true"
/>

5. Improvements in handling Root templates
 
- It’s possible to ensure parts of the template will only be rendered on the home/front page of the template.
To do this – content can be wrapped with a PlaceHolder with ID that starts with phHomePage, for example:
 <asp:PlaceHolder runat="server" ID="phHomePage1">
//front page content here
</asp:PlaceHolder>
- It’s possible to inject standard editable footer.
To do this – the following element must be present:
 <asp:PlaceHolder runat="server" ID="phFooter" /> 
 
Footer’s content can further be edited in Setup Wizard:
