Magento 2 Page Builder’s new version also gives you more control over customizing styles for elements without touching a line of code.

Below are a few new features we have in the works:
- Hover State Styling: You can customize any element’s design on hover mode.

- Text Shadows: You can also modify texts to be more attractive by adding shadows to them.
- Fonts & Text Styling: You will have more options for customizing text styles such as font styles, sizes, letter spacing, line height, text styling, and font weights.

4. Some other features
Besides adding new features related to builder interface, layout, and styling, we’re also developing some other effective features that will help you shorten the time in editing pages.
- Multiple-Select & Bulk Editing: You can select multiple elements on a page at once then edit them simultaneously.
- Find & Replace Styles: Instead of opening each element to edit its design, you can find and change element design across the entire page or within specific locations.
- Extend-able Styles: This feature allows you to adjust and extend a style through the page or specific elements within specific locations.
- Global Website Styles: You can manage your entire website’s design with the Global website styles feature. For example, when you set an element as a global default, its design will be updated at once in the entire website, and you don’t have to customize each one.
- Presets: If you like a design of any element and want to use it later, this feature is for you. You can utilize Presets feature to create an element with your desired design and use it in any location without modifying from scratch.

- Layer: We will add a search bar on the navigator for easy layer management. You can save tons of time on finding your wanted layer to edit. Furthermore, it allows you to expand the sizes of the settings window and move it around the screen.
