Because if you’re using Helix Ultimate-based templates, you can now tap into your template’s preset colors directly from the Color Library. This new integration lets you apply your template’s predefined color schemes seamlessly, making site-wide customization faster and more cohesive than ever before.
Style Your Texts Smartly With the Global Typography
The latest SP Page Builder v5.5.5 introduces Global Typography Settings, giving you better control over your site's text styles.

These settings are easily accessible and can be applied directly through the typography options in your addons.
This powerful feature ensures a consistent look across your entire site while streamlining the customization process, saving you time and effort. It’s typography, made smarter and simpler!
Engage Visitors With Randomized Slider Order
The SP Page Builder v5.5.5 update also introduces a new feature that allows you to randomize the display order of slides in all slider-related addons.
