    • Our product teams collect and evaluate feedback from a number of different sources. To learn more about how we use customer feedback in the planning process, check out our new feature policy.

      Overview: With the latest updates, the "View Source" advanced option has been removed from the page. This feature was extensively used by our customers to troubleshoot formatting issues and macro behavior effectively.

      Key Benefits:

      1. Troubleshooting Aid: The "View Source" feature is crucial for identifying and resolving formatting discrepancies and understanding macro execution. Without it, diagnosing these issues becomes significantly more challenging.
      2. User Efficiency: Customers relied on this feature to quickly inspect and edit source code, streamlining their workflow and reducing downtime.
      3. Enhanced Understanding: By allowing users to view the underlying code, they gain insights into how pages are structured, which aids in better customization and optimization of their content.

      Request: We kindly request the reintroduction of the "View Source" advanced option. Its absence has created a gap in our troubleshooting capabilities, impacting both efficiency and user satisfaction.
