Fixed a couple CMS glitches where
Removed errant text on the Face-to-Face session screen when certain address fields were left unpopulated for the assigned venue.
Version control has been added to CMS Pages – this means changes will be saved as different draft versions that won't be visible until published. Admins can also rollback to old drafts or published versions.
