Improvements
Presentation page
- Admins create multiple button overlays with different calls to action and select to display a pre-defined button on the presentation page.
Settle Remaining Balances
- Admins can now see the Run All Credit Cards button to settle remaining balances from the Close and Wrap Up settings when the auction is set to Open.

Champion pages

March

- The Donate button is designed to appear in the lower 1/4 of the iFrame, never covering up the video controls.
- From the shared presentation page, an admin can toggle the donate button overly between Show or Hide on the page to control when supporters will see the donate button.
- For presentations with 2 embedded iframes, the overlay appears only on the first iFrame entered.
- The presentation page background color is updated with a neutral color to allow for iframes to be more visible.
