Resources and downloads component
A new RESOURCES AND DOWNLOADS FOR XF component has been released for use in Experience Fragments. This version of the component allows authors to specify custom thumbnails for documents by pointing to that resource in the DAM. If authors prefer to use the default thumbnail generated by the system, authors can simply enter the same value (e.g. the same PDF file name) in both the "Resource" and "Thumbnail" field.
The component has also been updated to reflow when into a list-style view when viewed on smaller screensizes.
