January 2025 highlights for elementor/elementor: Delivered two features to improve modal interactions and remote template integration, with careful preservation of existing redirects. The Document-type Aware Modal Closure Events refactor introduces a custom event dispatched on modal close, enabling document-type-based reactions across the app while keeping the existing floating-button redirect logic intact. The Remote Template Endpoints Support expands the template library to use additional remote endpoints, implementing conditional rendering of remote template views via a new filter, and updating both JavaScript and PHP layers. These changes enhance extensibility and integration options for customers and partners, reducing custom workaround needs and enabling more dynamic templates.

Month 2024-11 summary focusing on delivering robust UI features, improving reliability, and enhancing post-import UX for Elementor.
