Wim Leers reported on Week 16 of the Experience Builder (XB) project, highlighting substantial progress with 26 merge requests (MRs) merged. The update introduced a simplified zoom interface, enhancing the user experience with smoother controls, including pinch and slider functions.

Improvements were made to the "undo" functionality, allowing real-time updates in the component props form, and Redux integration was expanded to support more form elements like '<select>'. UX enhancements included a ghost image for drag-and-drop actions, improving component visualization.

Backend updates also advanced the Single-Directory Components (SDCs) feature, optimizing the XB UI by filtering out unsupported components. The project continues to evolve, with backend developments such as an HTTP API for identifying viable candidate field properties, paving the way for a more efficient and user-friendly system.
