- Images Element: Add image content inside the option set when you need visuals next to the fields.
- Heading Element: Add a heading to break the form into labeled sections.
- Divider Element: Add a divider between groups of options.
- Spacing Element: Add space between fields without custom CSS.
- Paragraph Element: Add short helper text in the option set.
- HTML Element: Add custom HTML when a heading or paragraph is not enough.
- Search in the option type selector: Search the field list instead of scrolling through every type.
YayExtra Pro
- Popup Element: Open extra content in a popup from the option set.
- Product list Element: Show a product list inside the option set.
- Link Element: Add a link field when the customer needs to click through to another page or resource.
Better than Before
YayExtra Free and Pro
- Grouped option types: Field types now sit in categories: Input, Choice List, Swatch, and Static. The selector is easier to scan when you add a new option than when you use a single mixed list.
The search box from What’s New works with this grouping. You can jump to a type by name or browse by category.

Conclusion
YayExtra 2.1.0 is a builder update. You get a Steps/Accordions layout and new static elements for images, headings, dividers, spacing, paragraphs, and HTML.
