• Fixed an issue where newly created sections would not have Content SEO settings show up for (#1544)

Added

• Added the Site Alternate Name property to Site Settings, used in the JSON-LD for the homepage, if the MainEntityOfPage is WebPage or WebSite (#1482)

Changed

• Make the Content SEO listings better at eliminating duplicates by pruning sections that no longer exist (#1499)

Fixed

• Fixed an issue where getting the sitemaps via GraphQL and meta container endpoint only retrieved the first page since the switch to paginated sitemaps (#1492)
