Sync Quote Notes to Order
What’s changed?
When a quote is converted to an order through the checkout, any notes added to the quote will automatically carry over to the order and will be visible to both the merchant and buyer. Previously this feature was only available for manual quote conversion.

“Inserts Product Notes to BC Comment Section. Visible to customers” updated to “Inserts product notes to the comment section of an order. Visible to customers.”
Changes reflected in both the theme version and Buyer Portal, only in the English language. All other languages remain unchanged.

Registration URL
What’s changed?
The Buyer Portal registration URL has been updated from ‘/registered’ to ‘/register’
Login and Registration Pages

Theme Menu Updates
What’s changed?
The following updates have been made to both Camden and Vault theme menus:

Menu items have been linked to the appropriate page with href using css overrides:
Orders → My orders
Addresses → Addresses
Account Settings → Account Settings
Logout → Logout of account (already linked properly)
These updates apply upon Buyer Portal Deploy with no additional intervention from team or merchant
