 Optional properties are added from the right-hand pane in the page editor window, and will apply to that page. Removing an optional property will remove its functionality from that page and/or reset its configuration back to the default setting.
+**New in 3.14**, to reduce clutter in the editor, optional property groups are now collapsed by default. Click the group's name to expand it and view all the properties within that group. A new **Expand groups **check box is also available at the bottom of the editor which will open all optional property groups by default. When a new optional property is added to the project/page, the group will be expanded by default so that you can see all the properties within it.
 There are three types of optional property;

+| Navigation Buttons... | This allows you to customise the tooltips and the icons for the navigation buttons (Previous Page, Next Page) and for the Table of Contents.  Icons can be chosen from those available as Font Awesome characters. **New in 3.14**, it is possible to hide the page counter that is normally shown between the next and previous page buttons. This new property is only available when the project's navigation setting is 'linear' or 'linear with historic back button'. The page counter is already automatically not shown when other navigation settings are used. |
 | Notes | Your notes for the project. These are not shown in the live project. |
 | Page Introduction Button... | On each page of your project, you have the option to add an Introduction, which displays as a lightbox, when you click on an icon in either the footer or the sidebar.  The icon can be customised, and the text of the tooltip displayed on mouseover of the icon can be edited. |

 | Twitter Card... | Enables a Twitter Card to be created for when a public link to this LO is shared via Twitter. |
 | [[variables|Variables...]] | Provides the ability to add custom variables which can be called in subsequent pages in the project.  A linked guide is provided with instructions and examples. |
+| Video Splash Screen | **New in 3.14** this allows you to display a video within a lightbox when a project first loads. Splash screens are ideal for short videos used for branding purposes. The video will auto-play and the lightbox will close automatically when the video has played to the end, revealing the first page of the project. Please note that due to common browser restrictions, the video will be muted by default. You can decide whether the splash screen is shown everytime the project loads (even if the first page shown is not page one) or only when the first page shown is page one. |
