Enhancements

Board Settings
The keyboard shortcuts "Help" UI has been updated to make it easy to find your desired shortcut. You can access keyboard shortcut help by pressing the "Shift + /" keys.
The Board Settings modal now has an "About" section that indicates the board name, creator, creation data, and file space. This is also accessible via the "..." button for each board on the Dashboard page.
Now there is a board setting to position the board header at the bottom of the screen. This is useful when you are viewing content on a larger display and when the top part of the display may not be reachable.
Now there is a board setting to auto-hide the standard board chat for viewers. This is useful when you want your webinar audience to pay closer attention to other custom chat tools on the board.

Containers

Take the Lead
When a Board Owner enables Take the Lead, now you can select the avatar in the header to navigate to the Leader's current board position. This is useful if you temporarily navigate to another location in the board.
