ganeshsanap but why is it always a half-baked job. The accordion drop down doesn't allow. Have to remind users to use Ctrl+click to do that. Sheesh!

BerniceSIt's my belief that Microsoft has a secret internal road map for SharePoint, in which it will reach parity with HTML 4 functionality in approximately 2074. Assuming there are no delays.

    Is this update available in SharePoint on-prem as well? I need to find a solution to open links in a Hero web part in a new tab.
