with UI-Kit

## 4.5.1

## Information

Enhanced Component Policies

We revised our Component Policies. Policy updates are applied for all Content Only Websites but not for Solutions with Custom Development as they do have their own Component Policies.

Solutions with Custom Development will have to update in their Code Base, if they want to use the same Component Policies.

In Future we will work further on the Component Policies.

## Default UI-KIT Version

##### Default Version for Release: eon-ui-kit v_4.5.1

All AEM Releases are tested against a default UI-Kit Version, which is set in CAC MultiBrandMainConfig as **Fallback**. If CAC MultiBrandMainConfig is not set manually, then this Version will be set for your Website.

Solutions having their own UI-Kit (e.g. Suewag, Energiewacht) will always have to update manually.

[DDSMBFOUN-8538](https://jira.eon.com/browse/DDSMBFOUN-8538)

## 2.2 Horizontal Line as Divider in Editor Dialog for multiple Elements

We added a Line that comes in Editor after each Item of a Component (e.g. Bullet List Item) in Editor Dialog, so that Editors can easily identify where one Item ends and another starts.

[DDSMBFOUN-7511](https://jira.eon.com/browse/DDSMBFOUN-7511)

## 2.5 Steps Component | Adjust Editor Logic to Show the Done Step Icon Only for Pictogram Variant

As Done Step Icon can only be choosen for Pictogram Variant of Steps Interactive Component, we have hidden this Option for Circle Variant.

[DDSMBFOUN-8315](https://jira.eon.com/browse/DDSMBFOUN-8315)

## 2.6 Badge - Adjust Selected Path for Badge Image Dialog

When adding an Image in the Badge Component than the "Select Path" was set to *"/"* aka Root.

We adjusted it now to set selected path to *"/content/dam"* so that Editors do not have to search for the DAM Asset Folder first.

## 2.8 Text Teaser component: Number not showing after Decimal

The Implementation of Text Teaser with Number so far did not allow to have Decimals being visible without Animation. With this Change, Editors get the Option to configure Animation independent from showing Decimals.
