Updated Button Step

What's Changed?

Simplified and Improved UI

• Streamlined Button Creation: We've made it quicker and more intuitive to add buttons. Simply click the "+" button next to the Buttons label in the editor to add a new button.
• Clean Editor Layout: The editor has been decluttered to focus on what's important, allowing you to configure your buttons without any unnecessary distractions.

How to Start Using the Redesigned Button Step

The redesigned Button Step is available now in your step toolbar, labeled as Button. To take advantage of the new user interface:

1. Replace Existing Steps: You can replace your existing Button steps with the redesigned version in your projects to benefit from the improved UI.
2. Update Your Conversation Paths: Reconnect any paths as needed using the ports associated with your buttons.
3. Review Settings: Check your No Match, No Reply, and Listen for Other Triggers settings to ensure they are configured as desired.

Note: Your existing Button steps will continue to function as before unless you decide to update them. This means your current projects won't be affected until you're ready to make the switch.
