10.10.1
- Changes in all versions:
- New: Added a new form layout, “Wizard (Steps Timeline)“, on the Settings > Booking Form page. This layout displays a wizard with a “Steps” timeline at the top of the form. It also features improved borders for a cleaner look.

In the Setup Wizard, you can select “Wizard (Steps Timeline) – Service Duration.” This feature is ideal for appointment types based on service duration, such as salon or doctor appointments, consultations, product demos, table bookings, and more.
